'Super-sized' teenagers sue McDonald's

Gregory Rhymes, 15, has eaten at McDonald's almost every day since the age of six. His Macaholic addiction has taken his weight to 400lbs, although he is only 5ft 6in tall. 'I normally order the Big Mac, fries, icecream or shake - I like to Super Size my orders,' he said. Gregory has developed diabetes.

sarah this is rediculous. everybody knows what fast food can do. you are lying if you thought it was good for you. it is ok in moderation. anyone who lets their child eat that much and allows them to reach hundreds of pounds from fast food, neeeds to be put in jail, or slapped in the face. dont blame others, because you dont know how to raise your child. my mom wouldnt let me or my 4 brothers have fast food more than once a month, because it is obviously not healthy. screw those fat kids and their dumb parents. 9/16/2008
Eric To Jose ... spell check bro ... but totally agree on you. I am doing an essay regarding lawsuits and who has the right and what is an acceptable lawsuit and you know what you hit some good spots. We do kind of abuse our rights, but I am proud to have a right but also know and understand when to say I am abusing it and I am not abusing it.
To those stupid parents who is suing Mcdonalds, you are all so very unfit to be a parent, and how the hell did you live your life all this time and became parents without doing your own so called research about fat foods and your kids should sue you guys instead. But I know you all just want money ... just like the tobacco company lawsuits.

Jose Gutierrez After reading the topic of " 'Super-sized' teeneagers sue mcdonald's " it amazes me how abusive most americans are regarding the rights given to them. So now that we are suing fastfood chains, what is next do we blame ice cream or chocolate comapnies for giving us toothaches, gym clubs for being too expensive to apply for membership and that's why we do not go to the gym, or restaurants for serving oily foods or whatever reason there is. As an american I am very much embarrased to read these types of news, although this maybe a small portion of cases in the whole US, it still represents us as americans to the rest of the world. To those who are reading this, most of the world now only know america as the country that is so fat, war hungry, fake breast jobs, unsafe for young kids, and high school shootings. There are more and also there good things also but we are known for mostly the negatives becuase of how we abuse and blame other people for our worng actions. Irresponsible is another way to describe it. The lawsuit against Mcdonalds will keep on growing and next thing you know every fast food chain or company will be in court, just because we amreicans can do that. 6/27/2008
cmb He should sue his parents. haha. Im want McDonald's now :( 4/14/2008
Joy Ransom I believe this woman was too stupid to have a child and the lawyer is pulling a Jerry Springer to make money. It's a sad day in the court system if any judge lets this go down. 5/15/2007
garahamf If these comments are representative of the way Americans use English then it is more than the insidious nature of Mc Donalds fast food that you have to worry about. X.M.A.S as an example has to be the most fundamentally brain dead individual on the net. Look at the syntax and the grammar [ if there is any that is]. I guess he/she has been eating McDonalds. Some toxic substance has got to that person 6/7/2006
amanda its all about parenting, education and the individual's desire of how he/she wants to lead the kind of lifestyle. 8/21/2005

fat jonte i wanna be fat too really fat 10/22/2004
minty emu McDonald's is EXPENSIVE compared to healthy foods like bagels, brocolli, apples, carrots, and rice, when bought in bags in the supermarket. There's even healthy food in McDonald's for the same price. It has nothing to do with poverty or how busy someone is - they could get something 100x healthier in the same time & at the same price. 4/17/2004
Bob fatty bon bon 9/26/2003
Cheri Its thre own fault they're fat.. its stupid to think they wouldnt be after eating that much! once you start to get fat its easy to notice so they should do summit thereselfs. 9/26/2003
matt Gregory Rhymes' mother is a pathetic moron, Mcdonald's should sue her for her stupidity, that's the trouble with parents today they let their kids do what they want too often 7/11/2003
Barry Rob you are so true ! Wake up people! One's diet has to have exercise and eat right... not at McDonalds everyday you stupid ass! 5/14/2003
Rob You people are so pathetic!!
It's called SELF CONTROL. Trying to take away burgers just because a bunch of fatasses have no self control is wrong! Its theyre own damn fault! I wanna be able to go in once in a while and enjoy a big greasy juicy fattening double quarter pounder! Heres an idea... stop eating at McDonald's, find the nearest gym, and go work out. It works wonders, trust me! And these people who say they didn't know McDonald's was unhealthy, are either really stupid oblivious morons, or theyre full of . Everyone knows McDonald's = fat. Oh well, at least its always good for a joke. And if you don't have self control, and you can't get yourself to exercise, call Richard Simmons and get outta my face!

*********** i agree with scott 3/27/2003
Scott I would like to know when the last time McDonalds claimed to be a healthy choice? McDonalds is known for fatty foods, nuggets made from eggcartens and 1960's basball cards, and hot coffee on the crotch....where is the health benefit there? anyone who claimed that they thought McDonalds was good for you, needs to have their ass kicked by a russian version of frank sinatra. i dont know about you guys, but for me personally, a stir fried chicken head in my 9 piece nuggets is a god given sign, that McDonalds food is totally pure, and healthy.Actually McDonalds mascotts show its unhealthiness. You know that big purple rock looking thing on McDonalds commercials, Grimace. What do you think he is? A healthy heart? NO, hes a freakin' kidney stone. His name is Grimace after all, which as you no is that painful smile upon ones face when they are passing a kidney stone, or have diarea. So i think its clear, that these people are idiots 3/21/2003
------ never mind! 3/19/2003
jesse could i see a picture of you 3/19/2003
blank i'm doing an argumentitive essay on "should overweight citizins be able to sue McDonalds" at school. I'm against it, it is just obviously their own fault, they should have a bit more self-control...i've done my research! 3/15/2003
