Although Dawn Larson was born with a disorder that causes most people to stare at her, she never felt discriminated against. Born with Holt-Oram Syndrome, Larson has diminutive hands about six inches from her shoulder but she has led a very productive life. That is until she ordered food from McDonalds for her and her boys.

In an interview with the Chicago Sun Times, she stated, "I drank my baby bottle with my feet. Nobody ever taught me how to do it, I just did it," Larson said. "I can ride a regular 10-speed bike. I can swim. It has not been a problem in my life at all. It didn't stop me from having four boys. I've never dropped one of them."

According to a lawsuit Larson filed against the restaurant's owner last week in Winnebago County, when Larson pulled up to the second window to get her food, an employee allegedly said: "with a tone of disgust and repulsion - what's the matter with you? . . . You ain't got no arms. ... Let me see your arms," and drew back the bags of food from Larson's outstretched foot.

After making more allegedly rude statements, the employee closed the window and went to consult a manager, the suit states. After the manager came and looked at Larson with more disgust, Larson suggested that they hand the bags to her son, who has one full-size arm.

"I felt discriminated against, harassed, embarrassed," Larson said. "All I wanted was the food I had paid for with my money card. I just wanted to feed my kids."
