Did anyone watch that 'Half Ton Man' special on Discovery Health?

Did anyone watch this last night? I am so aggrivated by it, I just might write to them. I'm kindof wondering what other's think of the show? I really thought that it gave WLS a really bad name. I mean they show him eating whatever he wants incl. fried chicken and potato chips. Then they have the doctor saying that he is concerned that the guy will gain all of his weight back. I also found it disturbing that they focused on the genetics aspect of obesity and disregarded the enironment factor. They didn't show him going to a nutritionist at all, which I'm sure is part of his weight management plan. I just thought they portrayed it in a really negative way....aargh! Thanks for letting me vent....
