Biggest Loser
Sorry it’s on as I type this – While I think it’s a great idea to encourage obese people to get healthy – I don’t think this show actually helps them in regards to their relationship with food. Obviously obese people have a bad relationship with food anyway – but the Biggest Loser just makes it a worse one. They have ‘games’ or ‘challenges’ that are food based – but they HAVE to eat crap to try and win (or lose whatever) I think it will have a negative effect when they get out of the house. Shouldn’t they be teaching them about nutrition and aiming the games around healthy food? They are there to lose weight – so why on Earth are they making them eat potato cakes and meat pies??? Surely that can’t be good for their emotional attachment to food. And then when the show is over many of them put back on weight because they aren’t taught how to keep it off long term!
