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!

  • The regular, blue labeled Crisco has trans fat. They now sell a "zero trans fat" version that comes in a green can. My blue label version has 0g. Maybe they do this in NC realizing we still smoke too much. Anyway, it's interesting that the market is adapting to this trend and doing it without government legislation. Typically, things work better without the gov't getting involved. This would be a prime example, along with the public waking up to the luncacy of that Atkins diet.
