In the case of Pelman v. McDonald’s Corp, the parents of two teenage girls claim that McDonalds was responsible for their daughter’s obesity. One of the girls said that a “McMuffin for breakfast and a Big Mac meal for dinner was her regular diet.” (Wald, 2003) While the other one would eat Happy Meals three to four times a week. When this case went in front of the court, Judge Robert W. Sweet stated this “opinion is guided by the principle that legal consequences should not attach to the consumption of hamburgers and other fast food fare unless consumers are unaware of the dangers of eating such food.” (McLean, 2003) He felt that if consumers knew the potential risks of eating McDonald’s, they wouldn’t be able to blame McDonald’s when they supersize their meals. There were many counts that were brought up in the lawsuit: Counts I and II stating that the value meal was not actually a value, therefore they were deceiving their customers; Count III stated that they were negligent because their food products were “high in cholesterol, fat, salt and sugar when studies show that such foods cause obesity and detrimental health effects”; (McLean, 2003) Count IV stated that McDonald’s failed to warn their customers that their food products could cause health problems and cause individuals to become obese; and Count V stated that McDonald’s failed to market their food products as addictive, both physically and psychologically. This case was dismissed in court in 2003. Judge Sweet called these types of lawsuits “McLawsuits” and felt these lawsuits would “likely be cited for years to come as America copes with the obesity epidemic.” (McLean, 2003) Obesity has become a real problem in America. Someone is considered obese when their Body Mass Index (BMI) is over 30 or higher. Using a BMI calculator by inputting your weight and height will give you your BMI. I
