Default Shaq's Family Challenge

Has anyone watched this show on ABC ? I have been watching the episodes online and can say I am totally amazed at what he is doing.
Although Shaq annoys the heck out of me, what he is trying to do is so important. He seems to think because of who he is that people will do whatever he wants but he is quickly finding out that people don't care anymore when it comes to the health of our children.
The kids they chose were good candidates because a couple of them have shown the attitude most kids will throw out when it comes to diet and exercise.
I will tell you it has motivated me !

I watched a couple of episodes but, frankly, I got bored. Maybe the attitudes, I dunno. I thought it would be really interesting.

I watched the show. It appeared to me that he was focusing on low-fat choices for the kids instead of whole foods.

I've been watching, and, although I thought they didn't have a clue when they went into it, (thinking the kids would just exercise if left to their own devices), I love that he's trying to make a difference.

I gotta tell you...Walter is my hero!
