Idea for a show top solve many problems It came to me in a dream.  We round up all of the fat activists that say they only eat 1000 calories a day yet still weigh 300 pounds and put them in a house, one locked down with many cameras (similar to the big brother one). Then we proceed to study them. We only give them the square meals a day that are very healthy yet have around 1800 calories. Then we wait.  If we monitor them correctly and make sure their don't eat more than that a day, we take their new weight after a month. If they have lost weight then maybe they'll realize they have a shot at being a normal human and will continue. If they have gained weight after being on this 1800 calorie a day diet then we take them to scientists and figure out how to use this free energy that is being produced magically for the benefit of the world.  Win -win!
