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!
As I sit here and eat lunch I note that my pack of Lance Crackers says boldly on the front "0g Trans Fat." Now, since we can still eat what we want in NC (and smoke, too) what is driving this? It's called market forces. So, if industry and consumers already feel trans fats are not good, why do we need the government to tell us?
The gov't has more pressing issues now, like why little kids in California are forced to swim outdoors in December for swim meets.
I personally believe that high fructose corn syrup plays a much more insidious role in our diet. Try going a single meal without that stuff.
