I have always really liked working out and fitness so I had always liked The Biggest Loser TV show on NBC. It is a show about very overweight people who compete to be the Biggest Loser of weight loss and whoever looses the most weight wins a prize of money. I found on the internet that there are many different variations of the same show worldwide but they all have the same goal of losing the most weight. The first season of The Biggest Loser started on October 19th 2004 and has been going on its 8th season now. I think this show is so popular because of how horrible the obesity rate is in Americans especially kids. The obesity rates of adults have doubled from 15 to 30 percent since 1980’s. Another interesting fact is that the costs of health care are more than one-quarter of the expenses which are because of obesity. According to the surgeongeral.gov stated that “Nearly two out of every three Americans are overweight or obese.” Also the surgeongeneral.gov website started that since the 1960’s the obesity rate in kids has tripled to 15 percent and that “nearly three out of every four overweight teenagers may become overweight adults.” I sad thing about all of these horrible facts is that the rate is just going to keep increasing. I think the big problem with kids these days is all they want to do is play with video games and on the computer instead of going to play outside. I think The Biggest Loser show is a great idea and think they should have a show for little kids. I remember a few years ago there was a show with Shaq and he had overweight kids working out and showing them the correct foods to eat. I think The Biggest Loser show will never get old because there are always going to be many overweight people.
