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!
You guys are taking this too far. The government has an obligation to create and enforce laws that promote public safety.
Stopping people from eating unhealthy food does not have anything to do with public safety. After all, a big lardo in an SUV that mows down a skinny, environmentally friendly tree-hugger mobile, is going to probably survive precisely because they are fat and can't squeeze into a Yaris or Prius.
I would argue it's in the public safety interest to keep people plump and encourage over-consumption of TFs so that larger safer vehicles continue to be sold and utilized.
