Environmental law and
public policy should protect us from the hazards of fast foods. Law
professor John Banzhaf of George Washington University said "I think when a
fast food company deliberately doesn't tell you important information, that
both legally and morally they bare some responsibility." Damages are in the
form of obesity, and MacDonald's last lost court cases. See

Obesity costs the American economy more than $117
billion a year, just behind smoking at $130 billion.
