The word on the street is that First Lady Michelle Obama will be appearing yet again on the yelling at fat people show The Biggest Loser this November.

Ostensibly, she’s going on the show to remind people to drink more water. Fine. Whatever. But the effect of this choice is to give her stamp of approval to a show that abuses and demeans people for entertainment.

A large group of mental health professionals, eating disorder specialists and activists (including me) have teamed up to ask Ms. Obama to not appear on The Biggest Loser, and we’d like you to be part of this effort!

Here’s what you can do:

  • Interview with Kai Hibbard, Season 3 Finalist. Part 1. Part 2. Part 3.
  • My #stopbiggestloser article on the problems with including children in the show is here.
