ABSTRACT
Whether in irony or clairvoyance, the text rapidly became known as the ‘Cheeseburger Bill’, given how blatantly it looked out for the interests of the fast-food industry, whose importance to the US – not least in terms of jobs – is huge. According to the sponsors of this bill, citizens bingeing on burgers and fries have no one but themselves to blame for the consequences. Overeating is an individual choice that does not fall within the remit of the law; still less does it implicate the corporations that produce and market this deluge of food.
