Bobby Parrish aka Flavcity May 30, 2023

Show notes

If you have ever followed Bobby Parrish on social media, you may be overwhelmed at the amount of foods that are poisoning your body! This finance-bro-turned-fear-mongerer would have you believe that almost everything, including certain fruits and vegetables (!!!) are slowly killing us all and should be avoided at all costs (and, of course, replaced with his supplements and products). We take a look at his social media to point out hypocrisies, scary medical advice being touted, and more.

From 2004 to 2017, NBC ran the show "The Biggest Loser", where contestants competed to lose the most weight. While the show claimed to be trying to help the contestants in the name of their own health and wellness, how helpful and sustainable is a (basically) starvation diet paired with constant berating from trainers? Today we look back at the unhealthy ways contestants lost weight, the questionable conditions the contestants were subjected to, and the long term weight loss success of past contestants.
