Assignment 2: Unhealthy Lunches
Drive-In Don’s fast food restaurant sells the most delicious
burgers in town at the most affordable price. Elementary and high schools in
the vicinity have contracted with the restaurant to serve burgers during lunch
hour. However, the county health department’s one-year study shows that
children from these schools have the highest cholesterol, are the most obese,
and are the least active.
George and Mary’s son, Randall, 12, attends one of the
schools where Drive-In Don’s foods are served. He suffers from extreme obesity
and high cholesterol and runs the risk of diabetes.
George and Mary have sued Drive-In Don’s and the school,
alleging that Drive-In Don’s is engaging in illegal deceptive advertising of
its foods and is not truthful to customers. Further, the lawsuit states that
the restaurant purposely fails to provide consumers details of the ingredients
of its food products.
Research consumer protection laws and regulations, using
your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the
