McDonald's ordered to pay ex-employee £10,000 after he claims their food made him fat

A former McDonald's worker has won £10,000 compensation after claiming the free meals he ate during his 12-year employment made him fat and unhappy.

The unnamed man decided to sue after putting on four stone in weight.

A Brazilian court ruled this week that McDonald's must pay the former franchise manager $17,50.
A McDonald's worker was shocked to find the food made him fat, even though the chain's Big Tasty with Bacon sandwich alone has 890 calories and 55 grams of fat

McDonald's famous Big Mac has 490 calories, 24 grams of fat and 42% of one's recommended daily salt intake

The 32-year-old said he felt forced to sample the food each day to ensure quality standards remained high, because McDonald's hired 'mystery clients' to randomly visit restaurants and report on the food, service and cleanliness.
