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!

  • No kidding Geek! By then we'll probably be in a Communist society, the government will give us our meals so they make sure we eat exactly right ... You guys are taking this too far. The government has an obligation to create and enforce laws that promote public safety. By your reasoning the government should not enact any environmental or sanitation standards either. Heck, it's my yard, if I want to dump my used motor oil into the sewer I should be allowed too, right? What about speed limits, or heck, traffic laws of any sort? Why can't I just drive however I want?
