Class Action Suits

The sad thing with all these lawsuits is, the lawyers don't care. They can say what they want in an interview, but I would bet the farm that 99+% of them could not care less. This is all a pay day for them.

All they are doing is increasing the cost of products offered due to court costs and settlement.

I am not saying that all the nutrient or natural claims out there are correct. But the shear number and pettiness of a lot of the lawsuits is out of control.

Rather than tie up our court system, direct your energies to the FDA, USDA, and other agencies which regulate our products if you feel that strongly about these issues. Oh wait, what am I saying, there is no pay day there. So that should tell you that these lawyers are not working in your best interests. Only theirs.
