McDonald’s Taken to Court

In 2002, several obese teenagers in the USA sued claiming that the company was responsible for
making them fat. A. _____ They claimed that the company had not warned them about the health
problems that can result from eating too much salty, high-fat food and drinking too many sugary
drinks: diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. The mother of one of the children, who at the age
of 15 weighed more than 180 kg, said in her statement: ‘I always believed McDonald’s was healthy
for my son.’

McDonald’s rejected the claim that they were responsible for these teenagers’ health problems.
B. _______ ‘The understanding of what hamburgers and French fries do has been with us for a
long, long time’ he added. The judge agreed, and dismissed the case, saying: ‘it is not the place of
the law to protect people against their own excesses.’

C. ____ In 2005, the US House of Representatives passed a bill which became known as the
‘Cheeseburger Bill.’ It made it much harder for obese people to take legal action against the food
industry. There is some scientific evidence to suggest that fast food is addictive, and harmful, too.

nutritious.
3 ‘People don’t go to sleep thin and wake up obese,’ said McDonald’s lawyer.

Task B: Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank line/s below.

4 According to the judge, if people choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food, they T F

can’t make the company that sold it to them responsible.

5 The ‘Cheeseburger Bill’ helped protect obese people. T F
