"Earlier this year the House of Representatives passed the Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act, which would shield food vendors from civil claims premised on weight gain. Like a lot of other tort reform legislation, however, Senate Democrats blocked it. Perhaps the bill will meet a different fate next year. We hope so, because allowing trial lawyers to exploit the obesity epidemic -- and encouraging Americans to blame their dietary excesses on someone else -- isn't going to make anyone healthier."

What a sad commentary that we need our Representatives to actually attempt to pass laws that protect us from ourselves. I don't mean keeping us from eating too much and getting fat, I mean blaming others and suing them for something we did to ourselves. Shame on us!
