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!

I am just using the numbers attributed to the dieticians at Harvard for the number of premature deaths that could be prevented by substituting non-trans fats for trans fats. I did not state that a restaurant ban alone would result in that reduction.
I am quite surprised by the "they will just find another way to kill themselves" line of reasoning. It would be interesting to know what percentage of people who die from CHD "want to die", I am working on the assumption that it isn't that high a percentage.
