Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm has signed legislation prohibiting civil lawsuits in that state against the food industry filed by people who claim that food made them obese. The law is similar to those approved in a dozen other states, but not at the federal level.
The Michigan law does not prevent suits against companies accused of altering food and acting with malicious intent. Proponents of the legislation framed it as forcing people to take personal responsibility.
