DescriptionA federal judge Thursday threw out a refiled lawsuit against McDonald's Corp. blaming the fast food restaurant chain for obesity and health problems in children.

U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet dismissed the suit that accused McDonald's of misleading the plaintiffs through advertising and other publicity that its food products were nutritious. Sweet had thrown out an earlier version of the suit, but had allowed the plaintiffs to refile the case with new information.
