Sues McDonalds and WINS employee

We have seen (and raised an eyebrow in) News customers Sue fast food manufacturers to make them fat.

But here is a new one: a McDonald's employee successfully has sued the company because gained weight while working there.

The employee without a name of the branch of a McDonalds in Brazil, blamed the company by their due weight gain that:
Your work needs include testing flavour food (due to frequent inspections "mystery of the customer").
Realized with lunch for free - but no healthy choices.

Started to work for McDonald's at the age of 18 years, with a weight of a healthy 154 pounds.After twelve years, had acquired 65 pounds.

João Filho judge ruled that the company should pay $17,500 to the employee.They have the right to appeal and are reported to consider their options.

Frankly, I am surprised that won A gain of 65 lbs in 12 years is about 5.5 pounds per year, which is not a gain excessively rápida.Si employee had previously lifestyle pretty active in school, he might well have gained so much weight by a sedentary desktop post.

If you think that is a crazy crazy turned litigation example, or a story about McDonald's get what they deserve, this open debate about how much employers responsible for the health of its employees.

If you work in a company with limited or unhealthy food options, are fault if you end up overweight? if your work involves sampling food, what steps should their employer taken to ensure that this does not affect your health?
