You haven't lost trust yet? This fat woman sued mcdonalds because she was fat, supposedly from their food. Now I have issues with mcdonalds, but I admit that this is stupid. She won a few million if I'm not mistaken. Maybe someone could dig up the story, or prove me wrong.
Maybe you are thinking of the lawsuit against Kentucky Fried Chicken?
Though in that case, I think they deserved to win. The gist of the case was that all of Kentucky Fried Chicken's numbers were based on eating the chicken after the skin had been peeled off and thrown away. They used this to make advertising claims that Kentucky Fried Chicken was an appropriate weight loss diet food. Unsurprisingly, people who attempted to use Kentucky Fried Chicken as part of a balanced low cal diet did not lose much weight.
