I start watching this show, thinking that it will be interesting.
Let me just start with the list of the dysfunction.
- dad has a pierced eyebrow, and is like 45
- the family has no kitchen table
- mom is bulimic(and still 40 pounds overweight)
- the two sons are 14 and like 12 and sleep in bed with mom.... No report on where dad sleeps, but with the eyebrow piercing... I suspect not with mom.
- Mom eats chips and and what she calls cappichino, but for some reason they come in 32 oz insulated cups. I'm suspecting it's a latte.
- Mom has no idea how to cook. as her roasting a beet shows. she tried to do it over the burner.... but that her idea of eating is latte and chips... should give you some idea of her culinary skills.
- The whole family seems to think that anything vegetable like tastes nasty. They can manage fruit.
The host mentions as a scare tactic that the kids may cut 10 years off their life span, well she is wrong, they could easily cut 40 years off their lives being significantly overweight at 12-14.
One of the kids is having a fit because the Video games and TV are going. "we are going to get through this"(if only I could get rid of my TV, and I wouldn't have to watch this crap.
So, they can't manage to sleep in their beds. Some of this stuff is amazing, first that it goes on, second that they are willing to share it all with the world..... I'd think it was a put up job, but....
I suspect that the family needs a good therapist, before they can manage their weight issues.
Seriously, our capitalist structure wants you working till your miserable, then consuming till you think your happy. then back to work to pay for it all.
