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!

    I'm going to go out on a limb here--the banning of trans fats will not significantly alter the incidence of coronary artery disease nor the death rate. That's not to say it shouldn't be done, but our expectations need to be realistic. Craig, are you contesting the posted numbers attributed to Harvard or saying those numbers do not constitute a significant decrease?
