Biggest Loser

I admit I watch the Biggest Loser...every year I swear Im not going to but it is like an accident scene that you know you really don't want to look but end up gawking as you pass by regardless.

Well last night we had it on and my fiance said "This show is terrible". He said, "They are putting these people with eating disorders in a room filled with junk food for 4 hours to test them. If this show was about alcoholics and they forced them into a room with a fully stocked bar people would be outraged!"

He had a good point. People with other forms of addiction problems seem to get a lot more sympathy and respect than those with eating disorders... they are simply looked at as if they are lazy and that's it. I know this is a TV show and everything is amplified for drama and shock value but would they have done such a thing to the contestants if they were suffering from alcohol or drug abuse?

What do you all think about this......food for thought (pardon the pun )
