A recent report from TMZ.com is food for thought.
He’s a six-time Mr. World Fitness champion, a jacked-up physical specimen — but Franco Carlotto claims he wasn’t strong enough to take down a bowl of cereal …
We don’t have all the details of the event or the suit, of course, but it does seem a bit odd.
Franco is suing Whole Foods, claiming a “defective” brand of “Whole Foods Market Organic Everyday Value Organic High Fiber Cereal” broke his teeth when he chomped down on a “portion of the cereal that had solidified to a hardened mass.”
In his suit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Franco claims he’s furious because Whole Foods gave no warning of the “particular risk of hardening of the cereal” or “solidification of the cereal.”
First, it seems like it is expecting a lot of the cereal company. You should be able to see that the cereal is an inedible clump when it crashes into your bowl.
Second, doesn’t the superior court have more serious issues to address?
And third, we are living in a world with declining personal responsibility. Usually, though, those that are making the effort to keep themselves in good shape physically are a cut above the average.
You might expect that such a person would be less likely to blame other people for the things that happen to them. But apparently not in this case.
