SummaryIn the year 2002, America watched closely as Samuel Hirsch, a lawyer from the federal court of Manhattan, filed a lawsuit against McDonalds. Hirsch filed a complaint against the famous fast-food chain accusing the company of violating the state of New York consumer fraud statutes by intentionally deceiving its clients of the healthiness of their fast-food products (BBC News, 2002). However, much to Mr. Hirsch desire to extend it to a class action suit, Judge Sweet dismissed the case citing the frivolity of its reasons. According to Judge Sweet, the understanding the deep fried burger patties and French fries as something as naturally healthy is absurd (BBC News, 2002). He even stated that the state of obesity does not develop overnight implying that the health hazards of fast-food is disclosed publicly and it is to the consumer’s consciousness and responsibility to take care of themselves (BBC News, 2002).
