Five years later, Banzhaf was serving as an "informal adviser" to New York City attorney Samuel Hirsch, who filed the first two lawsuits in which obese people blamed fast food restaurants for making them fat. Hirsch’s first client was a 56-year-old maintenance worker named Caesar Barber, who was five feet, 10 inches eating tall and weighed 272 pounds eating (giving him a eating BMI of 39). The main problem with Barber, who continued a diet consisting largely of burgers and fries despite a heart attack and warnings from his doctor, was that his stupidity was literally unbelievable.

"Those people in the advertisements don’t really tell you what’s in the food. It’s all fat, fat, and more fat. Now I’m obese." Hirsch eventually dumped Barber in favor of two hefty New York teenagers who claimed to have eaten at McDonald’s on most days of the week for years. |

Like other anti-smoking activists, Banzhaf initially resisted the analogy between tobacco and food, telling The Washington Times in 1997: "I’ve heard it since 1969, when they said if we applied the fairness doctrine to cigarette commercials, there’d be anti-automobile ads and anti-McDonald’s ads. |
