I watched it some last season, but only caught the finale of this season that aired last night. Unbelievable! At least a couple people on the show lost over 50% of their original weight.
The winner, Erik, went from over 400 pounds to under 195. Look at these before and after photos:

Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

Matt,
I hear were you're coming from. The government should have it's limits. However...this stuff isn't food. Remember that wonderful sweetener called sacharin? Maybe 40 years ago there were many who felt the same way as you do now.
It's still unthinkable that people inhale cigarettes year after year without the slightest concern. (Right now though...it's easier for a kid to buy a pack of smokes than purchase a bottle of Robitusin!)
At the end of the day...if some of the herd is dying off...and they're too unaware to stop themselves...shouldn't someone step in and send them off onto the right path?
Tough question to answer. Maybe Darwin was right.
