"Fast food's biggest players on Thursday will receive a jolting demand from the law professor who helped bring Big Tobacco to its knees: Display warning notices about the alleged addictive nature of fatty foods," according to this article from USA Today.
John Banzhaf III, of George Washington University, is sending the demand in certified letters to CEOs at six major fast-food chains — McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut — as a necessary first step, he says, toward filing a lawsuit against the fast-food giants within six to nine months."
