..an eating disorder, the point is it's not McDonald's fault.
In any case, from what i understand, the media is pushing the "it's because the fat kids are addicted" thing, even though the real case has more to do with McDonald's using animal fat in the fries when they say it's vegetable fat.
The media does this all the time, because the truth with a horrible twist is so much more interesting than reality, and insane tort lawsuits are one of the top stories.
Almost every publicized million dollar lawsuit has something unsaid by the news. This includes the hot coffee thing and even the Ford Pinto.
