Joe Soucheray in the St. Paul Pioneer Press - Big Food lawsuits mean the end of our way of life:
Even sooner than expected, the big push is on to make sure that kids blame somebody else for being fat, namely large corporations, which can be sued. I was sent the front page from the Duluth News Tribune the other day, a front page from July 6, when the main story advanced the idea that being fat is not your fault.And wait'll they discover Big Hair!
No, being fat is the fault of urban sprawl, global food policies, frenetic lifestyles and whatever else the trained journalism professional allowed herself to believe. I read the story, sighed heavily and made a mental note to dump anything in the old 401k that has to do with food.
Because they're coming to get you, Big Food. They learned how to do it against Big Tobacco, and now they are licking their chops at another billion-dollar payday.
