Lawsuit seeks warning labels on milk
According to MSNBC, Ten Washington, D.C. area residents have filed a class-action lawsuit against milk suppliers and retailer, asking that labels be required on milk sold here warning consumers of the effects of lactose intolerance.

So what types of lawyers take on a case like this? Are they new lawyers who are trying to make a name for themselves? Are they just press junkies who just want to see their name on something truly ridiculous? Are they charging an outrageous amount for this lawsuit?

Here are some of my favorite parts.
“The 10 plaintiffs claim they have suffered cramps, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems from consuming milk.” Maybe I can get in on this lawsuit because I once saw a person try to drink a gallon of milk with out puking.

“Among the plaintiffs recruited by the Physicians Committee are seven African-Americans, who tend to have higher rates of lactose intolerance.” And “’Lactose intolerance is very prevalent in persons of color,’ said Milton Mills, a black physician who is lead plaintiff in the suit.” We all know that milk cows are racists and hate African Americans. I think Louis Farrakhan has been saying this for years. It’s just a conspiracy for the white folk to keep the black man down with “lactose intolerance”. Maybe I can sue suppliers and retailers of chili, Mexican food or chocolate as these products in mass cause me to have cramps, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems.

At least the defendant has the right idea. “Susan Ruland, vice president for communications at the International Dairy Foods Association, ridiculed the suit by saying “It’s just another attempt on the part of an animal rights group to attack dairy and milk products.”
