NEW YORK - Want a class-action lawsuit with that burger?

A New York City lawyer has filed suit against the four big fast-food corporations, 
saying their fatty foods are
responsible for his client's obesity and related health problems.

Samuel Hirsch filed his lawsuit Wednesday at a New York state court in the Bronx, 
alleging that McDonald's, Burger King,
Wendy's and KFC Corporation are irresponsible and deceptive in the posting of their 
nutritional information, that they
need to offer healthier options on their menus, and that they create a de facto 
addiction in their consumers,
particularly the poor and children.

"You don't need nicotine or an illegal drug to create an addiction, you're creating a 
craving," Hirsch said. "I think
we'll find that the fast-food industry has not been totally up front with the 
consumers."
The suit does not specify the amount of damages Hirsch and his client are seeking.
