Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act
The American Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act, also known as the Cheeseburger Bill, sought to protect producers and retailers of foods—such as McDonald's Corporation—from an increasing number of suits and class action suits by obese consumers. To date these suits have been turned down by the courts, sometimes in strong terms. The Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in March 2004, but did not receive a Senate vote. The Act states that food-producing or retailing corporations cannot be legally held responsible for obesity, heart disease, or other health-related issues caused by consumption of their food, save for situations where actual food quality or handling was held responsible for such issues.
The bill was reintroduced in 2005 by Florida Republican Congressman Ric Keller. Keller had taken the maximum level of PAC donations up to $300,000 for his personal campaign funding from restaurants including McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King. On October 19, 2005, it once again passed the House with a 306-120 vote〔(FINAL VOTE RESULTS FOR ROLL CALL 533 )〕 although Keller actually missed the vote due to being rushed to the hospital after suffering a cardiac arrhythmya. Once again, it failed to achieve a Senate vote.〔(Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act of 2005 )〕
Many state legislatures have considered their own versions of the bill.
