Why We Must Boycott "The Biggest Loser" Casting Call for Jews
I just found out that NBC's The Biggest Loser is looking to cast Jews in its upcoming season. The casting agents will be in Boston July 24 and are even offering a handful of "VIP audition passes" through JewishBoston.com. Not only should NO ONE audition for this show, but the Jewish community in Boston and throughout the country should take a stand against The Biggest Loser, a TV show that capitalizes on the exploitation of obese people, promotes disordered eating, endangers its contestants, and promotes and unrealistic ideas of rapid weight loss. Here are 3 important reasons to boycott The Biggest Loser's casting call.
1. It promotes unhealthy, extreme, and unrealistic weight loss practices.
2. It endangers its contestants.
3. It exploits obese people and low-income people.
And more!
