House passes 'Cheeseburger Bill' - "The Republican-held US House of Representatives today passed what is being called "the Cheeseburger Bill" by a 276-139 vote. The bill makes lawsuits that blame fast food chains for obesity illegal. Democrats say the bill is unnecessary. House Republicans have in recent years approved similar bills barring suits against the gun industry for gun crimes and against businesses for asbestos-related health problems. Not one measure has passed the closely divided Senate."
