I would like the name of a good lawyer to also sue McDonalds for fries containing wheat. My daughter and I trusted McDonalds, my daughter has celiac disease, and I bought her french fries many of times, we trusted them.

<quoted text> Celiac is a disease that affects you stomach and if you eat gluten (wheat, rye, barley) you can become sick and be incapable of receiving nutrients.
And like I said previously I don't agree with sueing McDonalds but they did change the ingredients in the fries sometime in 2005-2006, no one was informed and the ingrdient labeling was not changed and thats why people got sick. I have Celiac and I can't understand why some people with this disease would risk eating at a fast food place.

Hi, I'm a willfully ignorant McDonald's mom. I can't be bothered to cook interesting, tasty and nutritious food at home, preferring the tasteless muck at McDonald's. I am too lazy engage my retarded offspring's enthusiasm in anything other than an unimaginative 'treat' such as a visit to McDonald's. I am a dumb chain-smoking breeder cow and I spend my welfare on McDonald's, cigarettes and lottery scratch cards. I am breeding the next generation of fucktards that will ensure you will become a victim of crime later in life.

What a sad society we live in, when "suing" is the only means of getting back at someone/something. I agree-- celiac disease and those who suffer from it need to be well informed and make wise decisions, and to base fault on others is senseless, especially if they happen to be in line at the drive thru on a daily basis. It all begins at home, and if those who cannot manage themselves in a proper, mature fashion, should NOT be blaming others for their ills. It's getting down to this- you don't like the result? Sue. You dropped your hot coffee because you spilled it? Sue. Have nothing better to do? Sue. Have to have others take responsibility for your own misguidance? Sue. I'm sure the lawyers are salivating and foaming. Very sad.

Honestly, you would think that if you or someone you know had this disease you would get a nutritional fact chart and/or ingredient list from McDonalds to ensure that you would ingest something that is harmful to you. This is from the McDonalds website:
French Fries:
Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*), citric acid (preservative), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent).*
People will do anything for money!

yes, we all wish that everything would be written in clear, direct statements, but it this is not the way. Information is disclosed, yet it may not be in the language that is understood by the public. Reading comprehension levels on a literal and possibly inferential level are lucky to reach 6th grade across our great nation. Thus, disclosure statements may be written in a way that individuals may not be able to use inferential reading skills to understand that derivatives of products are being used rather than the product itself. I do feel for those of you who feel that you have been misguided by the information you received through disclosure statements. There were those of you that went on to describe diets with individuals with autism needing a special diet. I have been working with individuals with autism and have yet to know of gluten killing someone. yes, it may not jive with wishes and desires to improve the quality of the life of individuals with autism, but it definiely does not present a risk of death or serious illness (unless there is comordidity occuring). I think there is a learning lesson in all of this. After reading a statement written in "legaleeeeeezzzzzzzzeeee " language, call the restaurant or the head of the company and confirm the information. We are smart enough in america to sue everyone because we feel that we have been unjustly treated, but we are not smart enough to follow through with checking that we understand the language being used in documents that are most likely above the average comprehension level of the nation.
