Uhhhhh . . . I doubt if the motive for sharing the salad was so that the
nanny and wife could both sue.  Portions of food served at all restaurants
tends to be huge.  I haven't set foot in a McDonald's in many years, so
can't comment on the portions of the food served there.  However, I suspect
the salad in question was probably too large for one person.  Granted,
McDonald's food is cheap, so the two ladies could have each purchased their
own salad I'm sure.  But, why waste food unnecessarily?  If the salad is big
enough, share it.  -Dave
