I was enjoying The Biggest Loser Season Finale tonight when I was absolutely floored by a statistic Alison Sweeney dropped: she announced that 1 in 6 Americans are now facing hunger. 1 in 6?!?! It blows my mind that a television show that features 250-476 pound contestants dropping 100+ pounds is one of the most popular shows on prime time television in a country where 1 in 6 people is hungry.
The show is sponsoring the Pound for Pound challenge where anyone can pledge to lose X amount of pounds and the show will match those pounds with a pound of food for a local food bank. I pledged and recommend you do the same. Its free and only requires you to enter your pledge.
