That's the old ATLA, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, now calling
themselves The American Association for Justice, originally the National
Association of Claimants’ Compensation Attorneys. But as John Fabian Witt,
Professor Law and History at Columbia, wrote, "At KFC (né Kentucky Fried
Chicken), the chicken is still fried. At Altria (né Philip Morris), the
cigarettes still cause cancer. And at the American Association for
Justice, some will say that the trial lawyers are still chasing
ambulances." Some people might call the name Orwellian, I couldn't
possibly comment.

Some stuff they do is tasty, other stuff they do I don't like. Taste is
personal. I like some of their new baguettes.

And you think that's guaranteed tasty and healthful? If so, I've a bridge
I'd like to sell you.

Yes, sugar can be bad for you. It's McDonald's fault people overeat, they
make the food so cheap and tasty it can't be resisted. Oh, no, sorry, it's
nasty and expensive. That's how they get people to overeat those bad
things like HFCS which no one else of course uses, especially local taco
trucks which use only organic and healthy ingredients.

And maybe a very disgruntled one who things they done him wrong?
