Beer here is counted as "poor food"... which is approxiamatley the same catagory a McDonald's Cheeseburger is in if you scrape off the pickles.
Fosters even has section of their web page devoted to the nutritional/health aspects of beer within a healthy diet:

Do they mean the extras who get paid the absolute minimum the studio can get away with and who will beg, borrow and steal to get actual union work that will allow them to enter the actor's union?
Well I suppose if they do at least that means some of them might get their tickets and get union membership (having a speaking part constituites union work) and upgrade themselves to "poor but fed artists".
So at least someone will benefit from this... as well as the studios and movie stars who actually get a share of the box office sales etc.
That can work for either party, there's nothing new about people filing law suits in order to prevent someone from doing the right thing. It is important to remember however when dealing with such assholes that a letter from a lawyer is not as intimidating and many people think.
Lawyers write letters which have little or not legal value all the time, I've received some myself when my old landlord and his wife got divorced and were fighting over who was the landowner. The letter itself wasn't worth the paper it was printed on, but it did have an official legal letterhead.
Always make sure you know your legal rights and never trust the other guy's lawyer to tell them to you.
