Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

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: www.nbc.com/.../erik_before1.jpg www.nbc.com/.../erik_finale10.jpg Hard to even believe this is the same guy!

    That's an estimate of the number of deaths that would be prevented. Look, trans fats are bad. No question. But as others have pointed out, why not ban tobacco products as well? Obviously there is not a powerful and well-funded trans fat lobby. Biggest loser? Geek in January at Charlotte. Just two words for you: Shock and awe, buddy.
