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!
Market forces should dictate the fate of trans fats. The growth of the organic industry is a prime example of this, although it still cracks me up to see fat people at the health food store. Maybe they will die of an overdose of tofu and we can ban that instead of trans fats.
And, let's not be so tough on trans fats. After all, I was quite tubby last year when I tossed gull aside in the 500 free and I attribute that to trans fats. Now that I've dropped some weight, I'm fearful of the dire consequences of the lack of them in my blood. Fat and fit - the new American ideal!
