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!

LindsayNB, do you really thinking banning transfats in restaurants is going to stop all of those deaths?
People will find it in other sources, or die from related heart type illnesses ... it's not like stop serving it in restaurants and all of a sudden there will be 50,000 less deaths ...
Yes banning TF will just drive it underground where it will become the new narcotic of choice. Our kids will be going to TF raves out in barns in the middle of nowhere. TF cartels wil spring up and become a major problem for the inner cities, and eventually, the rural areas. It will overload our already stretched law enforcement agencies, and worst of all: There will be even more lawyers (I mean is that possible?) clogging the judicial system with their cases related to TF addiction and crime.
