A bill up for debate in the South Carolina General Assembly this year would prevent people from suing restaurants and beverage companies for their weight problems. Matthew Richardson of the South Carolina Trial Lawyers Association claims there's no need for the bill, saying, "These lawsuits just aren't a problem here and wouldn't be because the people of South Carolina have common sense." A second South Carolina proposal would require restaurants to notify patrons if they serve food containing trans fats.
