Clay joins Republicans to pass Cheeseburger Bill

By Antonio D. French

Filed Friday, October 21 at 10:28 AM

Democratic Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay, Jr. (D-MO) joined Republicans yesterday to pass the Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act of 2005. If made law, the bill (also known as the "Cheeseburger Bill") would prevent people from suing restaurants and food sellers for obesity-related problems. The bill passed 306 to 120, with 80 Democrats voting for it and only 1 Republican voting against it.

Congressman Russ Carnahan (D-MO) voted against the bill.
