People are going to make fun of the 'Chubby' person walking down the street regardless or the next time you are sitting at a mall eating a meal the looks of ' Disgust' will still be given by ignorants passing by. I am a 'Big' woman but I go for walks, spend hours in my garden, take my daughter to the park and keep up with her and she is 3! But now every over weight individual lives an active life. There are some plus size people that don't even bother, are too lazy or just can't get around to committing to that extra 30 minute walk that can help our bodies stay healthy or even save their lives one day. This shows takes a lazy person and challenges them and for the most part at the end of the show, that person is 'Healthier' bottom line. I now have type 2 Diabetes from my last pregnancy. I can get rid of it by losing about 50 pounds and having some daily activity routine. I am all for this until last year when I had re-constructive surgery on my left knee. Now I am limited to the what I can or cannot do. My goals are still strong and I walk better and can stay standing for hours at a time now. These reality shows are delivering positive results that are helping the plus size person live a healthier and longer life span. Reality shows will always be negative, and tend to bring out our weak side. But the big picture here and the 'Biggest' price that only a 'Diet' reality show can bring is a HEALTHIER life and for a person that has 100 or more pounds to lose, it has just saved their life. That is the best prize anyone can ever ask for. The winners and contestants of these 'Diet' shows don't really care right now what they went through, they are 'Thin' and society sees them as 'Perfect' and now 'Beautiful'. With results like that there will always be a strong audience. "Don't hate me because I am 'Fat' and 'BEAUTIFUL" Olga Dear Bob and Glen,

Which is one of the reasons I have never been a follower of these shows. Bob,

You make a good point, but I do not think that we will ever see that type of show because the whole point of reality television is to mock and add drama to attract viewers. Which is one of the reasons I have never been a follower of these shows.

While they do bring the whole healthy eating thing to the fore, most of the time it is another excuse to laugh at 'fat people who can't control their eating'. People are fat for many reasons, genetics, disease, life style etc. The reality diet shows concentrate mainly on eating habits. Does this not enforce the view that big people sit around all day eating? It would be nice to see these shows examining more than just that. Bob I personally think diet shows are a bad thing.
