Fast food: No legal action

Do not eat fast food? Devi. According to the House of Representatives, the fast food industry is a significant part of our national economy. It does not have to be so few customers. Many independent studies have found that fast food is bad and causes weight gain. This research suggests that there is something "broken" with fast food. Our nation is becoming obese by the day and many obese people are giving their weight increased consumption of fast food.

In the documentary Super Size Me, has been shown that eating fast food promotes health and weight gain, even without eating more. In response to this "defective product, some are turning to the legal system for justice. However, a bill was created artificially invented called the" personal responsibility in Food Consumption Act of 2005. "This bill was sent to House (HR 554) and October 21, 2005 was adopted by a vote of 306 to 120. The bill is now before the Senate, where he is expected to pass.

The House of Representatives, in this case, found the following:

1. The food and beverage industries are a significant part of our national economy.
2. The activities of producers and sellers of food and beverages substantially affect interstate and foreign commerce.
3. A person's weight gain, obesity or a health condition associated with weight gain or obesity is a person based on a multitude of factors, including genetic factors and life styles and physical Decisions Fitness.
4. Promoting a culture of acceptance of personal responsibility is one of the most important ways to promote a healthier society, lawsuits seeking to blame individual food and beverage providers gain the weight of a person, obesity or health condition are frivolous and Legally economically damaging.
5. The American food industry is the nation's leading employer in the private sector.

If you notice in the above conclusions, the basis of this soon to be constant is economically motivated and not designed for the improvement of a healthier society. In their scope and summary statement, the House of Representatives said in essence that centers fast food should not be held liable for damage their products cause to over-consumption. " What is interesting is that these fast food companies Have never, to my knowledge, defined as "consumption good" is. As you may have excessive consumption when not defined what is proper use?

If a typical American eats only his regular three meals a day in a food establishment and his health deteriorates, therefore, should not be held responsible for determining that serve a product "defective? HR 554 is an attempt to remove responsibility suppliers of food and silence the legal resource for consumers. The next time you enter a fast food establishment, see if you can find the "good-" the use of documentation.
