Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

Having said that, it is a little troubling that a state is banning these fats to protect it's population. It bothers me when the state begins to limit what people are eating...this is not a mood altering drug we are talking about, it's a food. Yes, we should be able to eat food even if it kills us. We do have ample food labeling laws already in place to "protect" the population. As for fat kids, there are parents. Some people would argue that marathoning might be too much of a good thing for the heart. Should we ban it? Of course not. But then I live in a state that just legislated marriage and is working on religion in schools, so I guess every basic right is free game nowadays. I think I will have a glass of wine before mood altering substances are banned. I read the warning label. I'm not pregnant and I'm old enough.
