If you observe Lent, one of the main points is sacrificing something for 40 days, and avoiding the temptation.

But a Russian woman couldn’t make it through, and now she’s suing McDonald’s because their burger ads were tempting.

She’s an orthodox Christian, and she says that in April of 2019, she’d made it most of the way through Lent.  But then she saw a McDonald’s ad and “couldn’t help herself.”  She says she immediately went to McDonald’s and got a cheeseburger.

The woman is claiming it’s a “violation of the consumer protection law,” and she wants the court to investigate.  She wants McDonald’s to compensate her for moral damage.
