oooo ~ thanks for this heads up!
I have been waiting for this show! I work with quite a few people from Huntington, WV and 1/2 of them are morbidly obese, and 1/2 of those have had gastric bypass surgery, and 1/2 of those gained it all back by drinking too much and eating crap. The other 1/2 drink and smoke a lot, in amazing quantities. Huntington downtown doesn't seem to have a YMCA or gym, there is no good place to walk or jog, and the restaurants available downtown are terrible trans-fat, corn syrup and processed food pushers. Trying to find a fresh veggie in the downtown area that wasn't iceberg lettuce was impossible the last time I was there. It seems the parts of Huntington I have been to is the perfect environment for unhealthy living. It will take a huge public shift to create a better environment for people there.
So interesting that you've actually been directly involved with people from Huntington. I watched the 1 hour premiere on Sunday and then the 2 hour Friday night show and found myself getting so angry at the people that have such bad attitudes toward what Jamie is trying to do. I can't wait for future episodes and can only hope that attitudes change drastically!
