Good point. However the argument that I got fat because I ate fast food
hardly falls within the same "truth" of getting cancer from something
that has been publicized for decades as being safe.... The sad truth is
anyone can sue anyone else for virtually anything and too often the one
with the deeper pockets wins, not necessarily the one who is right or
has been legitimately damaged.

McDonalds didn't lose this because they spilled coffee on an old lady.
There were numerous compaints to the govt about the ungodly hot
temperature of McDonalds coffee and it came out tha McDonalds did this
to keep the smell of coffee in the restuarants longer. They were told to
knock it off. They didn't. After this incident with the old lady the
detritus hit the fan and they were severely penalized. Some would say
they deserved this.

A lot of these unreasonbale stories start sounding reaosnable once
you've heard all the facts of the matter - which you won't in the
popular press.
