But Samuel Hirsh, a lawyer for several city children who said they became obese from eating at McDonald's - including a 15-year-old Bronx boy who said he has been eating almost daily at the chain since he was six - disagreed.
"McDonald's has the information that ... a child consuming this food more than one time a week may result in a child developing juvenile diabetes," Hirsh said. "It's become an insipid, toxic kind of thing ... Nobody thinks that going into McDonald's can be unhealthy because they promote their foods as healthy."
The teen, Gregory Rhymes, who likes to "Supersize" his orders, said he weighs 400 pounds and is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and has been diagnosed with diabetes.
