A court in Brazil has ordered McDonald’s to pay a man who worked at McDonald’s for a dozen years an award of $17,500. What offense did the fast food chain commit? It offered free lunches to employees. It also hired people incognito to visit restaurants and report on food quality, which forced the plaintiff to sample the food to make sure that the quality was good.

As a result of this, the former franchise manager sued McDonald’s for his gain of 65 pounds over a 12-year period. This case is another stark reminder of why America must not accept “international law” as acceptable legal precedent in American courts.
