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!

Trans fats are not the reason that anybody is fat. An unbalanced intake/burning of calories is what causes obesity. Trans fats are great for helping one to develop heart disease so I do try to avoid them. Having said that, it is a little troubling that a state is banning these fats to protect it's population.
Are you trying to tell me that every gram of transfat that I ingest throughout my life will still be with me when I die? If so, I am not inclined to believe such a statement.
Did you know that corn does not break down well in the body? Have you noticed where it goes?
EDIT: I am not implying that transfats are dealt with as corn is (that was supposed to lighten the subject a little), but I don't think that those who are obese have 20-30 pounds of trans fat flowing through their veins either. Overweight people are overweight because they ingest more CALORIES than they burn.
