Its a JUST world.

It is the country of Liberty,of Freedom of Speech,the largest Democracy of the world.
That's true.
What I have felt about the American people is that they are very open to criticism and very liberal .They allow all sorts of opinions to express themselves.They believe so much in Justice and freedom of speech that they will give away a pound of flesh if shylock claims justly.This is my impression of the American people when I am living here,not of America as a nation as I saw it from outside.
Yesterday ,I read a news that a Brazilian court has ordered McDonald's to pay a former franchise manager $US17,500 ($18,000) because he gained 29kg while working there for 12 years.
The fat man sued McDonald as he had to taste sample food as part of his job there and was offered free lunch as part of his compensation.
So the employer(here Mc) pays the employee salary plus free lunch plus a chance to sample its products and then takes the blame of being responsible for his extra pounds and pays him again!!

Viva la Justice!!

Hope the same employee wouldnt sue Mc again for paying him this fat amount and making him fat thereby!!

(However,the aforementioned case is not in US but in Brazil;but it seems so ours that we often don't notice.)
These fast food chains are always blaimed here for making people obese.
But frankly tell me do you think they are responsible?Restaurants and fast foods will serve what they want to.Its for us to decide what to eat and what not.And one burger at Mc cant make you fat.Its your life style and failure to recognise the risk at the right moment that makes you obese.
We wont buy vegetables.We wont eat a balanced diet.We wont exercise.We will not cook at home.
We will make French fries and chips our daily diet.And we have the fast food joints to blame when they serve them according to our order!!
What a convenient system!!
