Summary

Go to http://dipseastories.com/casket to get a 30-day free trial. Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. The biggest loser is known for turning weight loss into the ultimate competition. Is it important to be healthy? Yes. But there’s so much more to health than a number. When you watch the show with a critical eye, it’s obvious why critics say it’s a miracle no one’s died during filming. Unfortunately, there has been damage done, to contestants, and to how we see health.
