Dear Friend,

This one's too far-fetched to even be real. 

Apparently, a man from Rockville, Maryland is suing KFC because he didn't know there is trans-fat in their chicken, which is produced when something is fried in partyally hydrogenated cooking oil.  I guess the plaintiff, DR. ARTHUR HOYTE didn't realize from the slimy shiny puddles of grease you see when you separate any part of the chicken, biscuits, or anything else served at KFC, or... from the massive droplets and greasy stains on his napkins... or, from the oily layers of goop coating his fingers, that KFC is one of the fattiest foods around, and that it just MAY not be the healthiest thing for you to be eating.

Hmmm... perhaps the good doctor thought deep fried chicken was health food or something -- perhaps he mistook it for broccoli and broiled skinless chicken.  What do you think?  

Colonel Saunders must be rolling around in his grave by now.

Do you REALLY believe a doctor -- even a really truly STUPID doctor, could be THAT dumb?  I can only imagine what kind of a weasel this guy must be.

I know, I know... he's just "working within the system" -- he has the RIGHT to do this.  Yeah, but he also has the RESPONSIBILITY to make his own decisions and not blame someone else for his bad judgment.  This is no different from all the criminals who blame their murders, rapes and violence on bad parenting.  At some point in time, responsibility must shift to us as adults.  (And by-the-way, this is one BIG reason why successful people get to their position -- they are WILLING to take FULL responsibility for their own actions and successes, AND their failures.)

And of course, Michael F. Jacobson the executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, is only furthering his groups mission by hooking up with a law firm and giving this lawsuit class-action status, "on behalf of the American people."

The good lawyers said... and I quote, "This lawsuit is meant to serve as a wake-up call to the food industry that changes must be made to protect the consumer from knoiwn dangers to his or her health."

This is nothing more than big-business mumbo-jumbo to make a fast buck.  Look, I'd probably eat shoe leather before I'd eat anything from KFC.  The stuff they serve there is garbage (although it makes Popeyes Fried Chicken look like the Whole Foods Market).  But... loads of people happen to love that stuff, and they sure as hell have the right to eat it whenever they want.  This lawsuit positions the consumer as a victim, relieving them of any responsibility for their own actions (or their own judgment), while in the end, offering them NOTHING in return.

No different from the woman who sued McDonalds because she spilled hot coffee on herself and she "didn't know" she might get burned if this happened, because it wasn't disclosed on the coffee cup.

O.K., so what -- from now on KFC's going to be required to post a small sign about the nutritional uselessness of its food, in each of its stores.  Do you really think people who are concerned about what they put in their body, and who are TRULY interested in the nutritional content of what they're eating and of the food served at KFC, need some kind of a sign to tell them this food is BAD for you?

Usingr this logic, the bank robber who gets shot while the robbery is in progress, can sue the bank because they didn't post a sign inside that says "Bank Robbing Is Illegal.  You may get shot if you're caught in a cross-fire, subsequent to the robbery."

Oh, but don't worry.  I'm sure the guy who comes up with that lawsuit, will be a former bank president.  In fact, he's probably on the phone with Dr. Hoyte's attorneys at this very moment.

Peace.
