New version of Toledo Talk

Illinois common sense consumption act - "Governor Blagojevich has signed a new law barring consumers from suing restaurants based on injury claims related to obesity. House Bill 3981 creates the Illinois Common Sense Consumption Act and is an effort to prevent frivolous lawsuits and encourage responsible dietary habits." But why has it been okay to have frivilous lawsuits against tobacco companies based upon a smoker's ignorance? Precedence has been set. If Big Tobacco can be sued, then consumers should be allowed to sue Big Fast Food. If the price of the Big Mac goes up to $4.00, well too bad.
