Lawyers have filed suit against McDonald’s trying to pin child obesity on the fast-food chain. Lawyer Samuel Hirsch calls children eating McDonald’s “a very insipid, toxic kind of thing.”

Here’s an idea: Americans could take responsibility for the children in their homes, and stop trying to blame someone else for their own families’ decrepit eating habits.

Then again, why bother? It’s easier to point fingers at someone else. And those fries taste so good. And it’s only 39 cents to SuperSize that soda….

Update, Nov. 25: The kids are suing McDonald’s, not the families. To which I say: You know fries are fattening, Tubby, and so do your parents and guardians. Give it a rest.
