The $50 Million Dollar Booty

A few months ago I wrote about the obese suing the fast food industry for making them fat. Well....it has begun. A woman is suing a snack food company for "emotional distress" due to an error on the nutrition label for Pirate's Booty.

NEW YORK (AP) — A woman is suing a snack food company for $50 million saying its label on Pirate's Booty corn and rice puffs foiled her diet. In her lawsuit, Meredith Berkman, 37, claims she suffered emotional distress because the snack contained three times more fat than its label advertised. Berkman said it caused her weight gain ... mental anguish, outrage and indignation.

Pirate's Booty, manufactured by Robert's American Gourmet Food, Inc., was recalled in January after the Good Housekeeping Institute found it contained 147 calories and 8.5 grams of fat, while its label said it contained only 120 calories and 2.5 grams of fat.

Fifty MILLION?! Damn, I better start chowing down so I too can find someone to sue for my resulting corpulence. I wonder what Jabba would do at a time like this.
