TALLAHASSEE -- People who blame their supersize waist lines on too many Big Macs, Whoppers or biggie fries wouldn't be able to sue the fast food industry for their weight problems under a measure that won unanimous approval from a Florida House panel. The House Judiciary Committee was taking a pre-emptive move because no one is known to have won such a lawsuit in Florida. But people have sued in other states seeking to have the industry held liable for the weight-related health effects of their products.
