12. It's a manufactured FEAR of lawsuits, more than anything else.

Mon Feb 6, 2012, 12:10 AM

Feb 2012

I flipped burgers as a young kid myself, for years, in college. We never got sued nor heard of anyone who did. The bureaucracy and paperwork hit us before any news of lawsuits over bad food ever did.

The only lawsuits we heard of, came from the occasional person who got sick from BUYING our food up front.

What has happened to food donations from fast food places is analogous to stopping ALL automobile production because of one fatal traffic accident.
