Ah, from Reuters in an
item dated April 19, 2005 we learn this - "The Fat Duck, an English countryside former pub, has topped an annual list of the world’s best
restaurants, marking a new gastronomic triumph for a country once known for, well, other reasons besides its food." The Fat Duck, run by
chef Heston Blumenthal, beat out El Bulli in Montjoi, Spain and The French Laundry in California --previously voted world’s
best two years in a row. Really? This probably much more
than you wanted to know. I wonder what she thinks
of this British place. It's a whole other world. Fearing a flood of such
cases and lobbied by the restaurant industry, more than 20 states have enacted or are considering legislation that bars or
limits obesity suits against restaurants and food manufacturers. There was only ONE real
case – the rest is just hypothetical - and they want legislation for protection? "Nobody forces you to
go into McDonald's," said Anthony Sabino, a professor at St. John's University Law School. "I just had a quarter-pounder with
cheese and nobody held a gun to my head. Even in this litigious-crazed society ... even the most ambitious of trial lawyers
throw up their hands and say this does not fly." Well, we may get the legislation
anyway. This congress is odd. |
