"So, I got to a point where I was only eating about 1000 calories a day, and I was working out between 5 to 8 hours a day... and my hair started to fall out. I was covered in bruises. I had dark circles under my eyes. Not to get too completely graphic but my period stopped altogether, and I was only sleeping three hours a night. I tried to tell the T.V. show about it , and I was told 'SAVE IT FOR THE CAMERA'" -Kai Hibbard (The Biggest Loser season 3 contestant)
I will give the title, not to the contestants, but to the staffs of Biggest Loser who were not concerned about the situation that she was enduring (even to the other competitors that she was concerned with).
As Freddie was stating on what can a media do during his philosia on "Chris Dorner..", the media can give only 10% probability of what their showing is true, especially in news. In this show, the staffs and businessmen use the media as their leverage to benefit themselves, not the people. They did show the people how it can benefit them, but they were not trying to show the flaws because it's clearly a gamble to their business.
A BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, IT MADE US SACRIFICE THE REALITY JUST TO MAKE US MORE COMFORTABLE AS WE GET THROUGH TO THE CONSEQUENCES THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING.
As a typical Zen buddhist will say "watch on what you're doing", not because to avoid suffering, but just to avoid suffering that will destroy any people(depending on the individual). It's impossible to avoid suffering, but hey, it simply means everything you do will have negative side on it and it will affect you physically, mentally, and spiritually. Every victims of Fad diet and program not just on Biggest Loser think that on what they're doing is a stairway to heaven. (It could be if you did not pull through in a hospital bed with an IV on you and god accepts you to stay in heaven once you're simply a soul. LOL.)

My God! See. This is why I chose to be in FMK. Apparently, Sifu Freddie Lee seems to be one of the most authentic personal trainer and martial arts instructor ever. There is 90% of chance that what she is saying is true! It doesn't have to be but I do appreciate the fact that she is exposing the negativity of the show The Biggest Loser. TV can never give you the whole truth. The media can tell you whatever they want so they can protect their corruptions.
