Finding a solution after something has happened is not the correct way. A proper diet with some physical workouts some help anyone to stay lean and beautiful.

I to can understand how a few could get some sort of eating disorder, but we can't forget that they came to the show for a chance to be picked and to change their lives.

These contestants were not living a healthy lifestyles, anyway. Whatever is what's going on behind the scenes shouldn't stop these contestants from eating the right foods and exercising. It's like saying, just because you feel safe don't mean you shouldn't carry a self defense product. I don’t think the show should be critisized for trying to help people lose weight.

I can see how it may cause some of the contestants to develop unnatural expectations/habits/disorders. However, 100% of these contestants had unnatural expectations/habits/disorders before joining the show in the first place. As a viewer, you have to take the show with a grain of salt - "No Bob! My hunger pangs won't go away by chewing a piece of Wrigley's gum, you skinny bastard!" Additionally, during every season, you are shown previous contestants. Some have maintained their weight loss, but most have gained some (not anywhere close to all) back. And that's ok. They are now living healthy lives - exercising, playing actively with their kids, making healthier food choices. On the whole, the show (and yes, the producers are making a ton of money off of it) attempts to do good - for contestants and viewers. Im my opinion, this woman is just trying to get publicity for herself. I watch the Biggest Loser almost every season.
