what i find peculiar is in a world where "reality" TV prevails these people are worried about a show that portrays how we are all subjected to the pressure to look beautiful and if we don't fit the mold we are considered outcasts. i like the show for moments like when Dan (who is ashamed of his overeating and probably weighs 300 pounds) calls Sam and gets marriage advice and Sam tells him he is the luckiest guy in the world. and even though it is supposed to be a comedy it gives some glimpse into what its like to live with an eating disorder........ surviving day to day. i think it also shows how people with any addiction will stick together to keep each other in check so, to those people who are offended by the show, maybe you should look at other things to be offended by (may i suggest "fear factor" or "so you think you can dance" or "dancing with the stars") because i find those shows have much less entertainment value than "starved"
