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  lost court cases. See http://banzhaf.net http://banzhaf.net/obesitylinks

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