By all means, let's do expose the dangers of relying on slimy fast-food marketing. Let's get schools to stop serving their garbage. Let's make public policy decisions that get people out of their damn cars, yadda yadda yadda.

The WORST possible way to attack this problem would be to continue to try to sue McD's for the reasons your pal had given. It's doomed to fail, and only gives the whiny reThugs another talking point.

And yes, I have seen "Supersize me," and loved it.
