There used to be a television show called The Biggest Loser where they'd take a handful of fatties and make them compete to see who could lose the most weight by a certain deadline, and at one point in the show once they were like two thirds of the way into their diet they'd lock each of the fatties in a room with a huge rotating table covered in desserts and pizza and shit and just let em go wild but take points off for each dessert they take. Tens of millions of viewers per episode. Wasn't controversial at all. This was just a normal day in 2006.
