    Basically they have two unhealthy eaters (from either end of the spectrum) switch diets and discuss why both of them are unhealthy. I love it!

    I'm in the UK but we have it here too (a UK version)

    I love that show! but I don't think a new series is out until around Spring next year :(

    Edit: Are the episodes completely different (using american people) or is just the british version?

    Darn it.... I was hoping they'd make them each compete against eachother in some type of sporting events. The switch diets are good too:)

    Yes yes, I love this show too. There are tons of episodes on youtube if you look for them. I'm in the USA so I never saw them on TV. BBC has some crazy shows about weight, we just have Biggest Loser (bleehhh don't like that show)

    I think it's interesting, but I sometimes fail to see how making a dangerously skinny person eat the big person's junk food diet or putting an obese person on a starvation diet accomplishes anything in the long run. It's just another "fast fix" that will always fail in the end because it is not healthy.

    I do think the "food tube" is an excellent teaching tool for both parties.
