Wait until the senate gets hold of it
The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved legislation nicknamed the “cheeseburger bill” that would block lawsuits blaming the food industry for making people fat.
Approved on a 276-139 vote, the bill came up one day after health officials announced that obesity was on the verge of surpassing tobacco use as the leading preventable cause of death in the United States and urged people to exercise more and eat a balanced diet.
The bill has backing from the White House and much of the food industry but it faces hurdles in the Senate, which has often blocked House-passed measures that would cap legal damages or protect certain industries from lawsuits.
