...whole thing does seem ridiculous--until you meet the plaintiffs. They're kids, and part of being a kid is having a poor idea of what's good for you. Ashley Pelman, 14, Jazlyn Bradley, 19, and several other teenagers say in their suit that "as [a] result" of eating Happy Meals, McMuffins and Big Macs over the years, they "have become obese [and] developed diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure" and other problems.
