  One could probably say the same thing about the folks suing the cancer^Wtobacco companies.

    The difference is that the tobacco companies lied for years about *how* dangerous cigarettes were. I don't know of the answer is to sue for your cancer, but certainly some action should be taken against their fraud.

      In addition, the tobacco companies manipulated nicotine levels specifically to increase the addictiveness of their product. I don't think the case of fast food is parallel.

  ...their deceptive advertising lead me to expect that I would
  find many busty women in tight revealing outfits flexing and
  bouncing at their establishments. Of course, if this were true,
  I would enjoy working out for an hour each day.
  
  On this assumption, I've increased my caloric intake well beyond
  my current metabolic needs, knowing that I would enjoy the work
  necessary to counter the resulting weight gain.
  
  After searching in vain for a gym with as-advertised features,
  I'm convinced that their bait-and-switch tactics are part of
  a wide-spread conspiracy against hetero/bi-men and homo/bi-women
  to get us to gain weight and die of associated morbidities.
  
  I'm gonna sue. Gimme my eye candy, or give me cash, or suck the
  lard from my fat ass, m'kay?
