A very evil British reality show

From 2012 to 2014, Channel 4 terrorized the UK with three seasons of Secret Eaters, one of the cruelest and most ridiculous weight-loss-themed reality shows ever. Hidden cameras, private investigators, a smarmy and condescending host, 'chartered psychologist David Lewis,' a segment called Glutton Nation, what didn't Secret Eaters have? Other than a moral compass, of course.

Fun fact: one of the pioneers of that kind of nonsense portion-size food experiments was found to be absolutely pummeling his data into meaningless junk and his studies were mostly just bullshit 🤣

Doesn't surprise me! Do you remember the name? I love a rabbit hole like that

Brian Wansink! If you're a podcast kind of person, Maintenance Phase has a great episode about his whole downfall, it's called "School Lunches, P-Hacking, and the Original Pizzagate"

uneasy and uncertain

as a british person i remember being shown supersized vs superskinny in both my food tech and my biology classes (i genuinely dont remember why, like what was i supposed to be learning from them???) so uh, my deepest apologies for all of my country's sins, we hate it here too!

uneasy and uncertain

also, i remember you talking about the setup in a previous post and i do like it (especially the return of miles hollingsworth) but if it helps at all i found the best piece of advice ive been given for framing (in drawing/photography) is splitting the frame into a grid with 2 lines vertically and 2 lines horizontally, and where the crosses are in each corner are where your eye will be drawn so right now, my eyes are drawn to your skeleton, your cool jumper and miles hollingsworths shoes, while your head sort of lurks in the middle of the frame id personally move miles hollingsworth over to the top right corner and bump your chair up so you sit in the top left, so you dont look so tiny lmao, and then any themed outfits (like in the teen wolf video) can be a focus point in the bottom left? just a thought in case itd help, do what you like obvi!! it looks good either way :D

I listen to Maintenance Phase! Can't remember if I've heard that ep though

Was... was this show sponsored by anorexia? Reality TV loves pouncing on fat people like The Biggest Loser, but at least TBL has an inspirational framing that offers some level of grace and compassion to its contestants. This is the brand of gleeful, sadistic humiliation I would expect from To Catch a Predator.

Thanks for the deepdive into this exploitative nightmare! From what British friends and acquaintances have told me, it seems that outright bullying is extremely normalized as part of the culture. Sometimes this manifests in more fun ways like Come Dine with Me. Sometimes it manifests in this evil. Also, you might be interested in an episode of Maintenance Phase that covers the discredited scientist behind a lot of the bunk studies this show cited: https://maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/episodes/8891391-school-lunches-p-hacking-and-the-original-pizzagate

ate two cinnamon buns while watching this since its swedens most important holiday (cinnamonbun day), if i ate that every day for a month it would be as much as 309 vegetarian chicken nuggets. now we know!

Jane Mulcahy

I do occasionally listen to Maintenance Phase! I'll have to revisit that episode now

CLASSIC anxious avoidant snacker! 🗣🗣 this was awful to learn about - thanks!!
