A McDonald's manager in Brazil has successfully sued the company over $17,500, claiming that the food he ate made him gain 65 lbs while working there. He says that the free lunches he was given, as well as sampling the food for quality contributed to his weight gain. McDonald's says that they will appeal the court’s decision, asserting that they serve healthy choices that the manager could have eaten if he wanted to.
