Food ads have long made their subjects look bigger, juicier and crispier than they are in real life. But some consumers say those mouthwatering ads can cross the line into deception, and that’s leading to a growing number of lawsuits. Burger King is the latest company in the crosshairs. In August, a federal judge in Florida refused to dismiss a class action lawsuit that claims Burger King’s ads overstate the amount of meat in its Whopper burger and other sandwiches. But Burger King is far from the only one. Perkins Coie, a law firm that tracks class action suits, said 214 were filed against food and beverage companies last year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is heading to Philadelphia for the Tri-State Labor Day Parade. The Democratic president is expected to speak Monday about the importance of unions in the United States and how the economy is recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. Biden likes to say he’s the most pro-union president in history. Biden has used executive actions to promote worker organizing and has authorized federal funding to aid union members’ pensions. Biden also has personally cheered unionization efforts at corporate giants like Amazon. The Tri-State Labor Day Parade and Family Celebration is hosted by the Philadelphia AFL-CIO, composed of more than 100 local labor unions representing more than 150,000 workers.

Norfolk Southern believes a software defect — not a hacker — was the cause of the widespread computer outage that forced the railroad to park all of its trains for most of Monday. The railroad said Friday that it traced the problem to a defect in the software one of its vendors was using to perform maintenance on its data storage systems. Both the railroad’s primary and backup systems became unresponsive at the same time. The Atlanta-based railroad reiterated that it hasn’t found any evidence of hacking. Regulators have been scrutinizing Norfolk Southern’s operations ever since one of its trains derailed in East Palestine, Ohio in February and an assortment of toxic chemicals caught fire.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — After nearly 30 years, Pennsylvania’s new governor plans to end a contract with an organization that distributes funds to anti-abortion counseling centers. Similar centers are gaining attention since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The nonprofit Real Alternatives was the first to secure taxpayer dollars for its services, and it inspired other states to start their own programs. Such centers are under renewed scrutiny from abortion rights advocates for counseling against abortions and facing allegations of perpetuating misinformation. Republican states have turned more attention to funding them, while Democratic states have sought to thwart them.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Trump-era rule allowing railroads to haul highly flammable liquefied natural gas will now be formally put on hold to allow more time to study the safety concerns related to transporting that fuel and other substances like hydrogen that must be kept at extremely low temperatures when they are shipped. The rule was challenged in court right after it was announced in the summer of 2020. The Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration says the uncertainty about the rule on transporting the fuel known as LNG kept railroads and gas companies from investing in it. So railroads never hauled any LNG.
