Comment on Why do people hate TV shows like The Biggest Loser and My 600-lb Life?
bachatero@lemmy.world 3 months agoI can see where Bullyland might exist among regular people, but not among doctors given that M6L is literally run by Dr. Now’s son and overweight + obesity is approaching the number 1 preventable cause of death in the US. I guess I just have a different perspective than most?

If said doctors participate in something that is oriented to appease the public of bullies, I don’t care about their good intentions – they’re accomplices.
The producers don’t care about reducing the health crisis in the US. They care about viewers and the money they bring.
