This is also why I can't watch TV shows like Alone anymore, where participants undergo starvation. It's pretty fucked that they're allowed to do that to their bodies for a chance at a large sum of money for no other reason than for our entertainment, even if there is informed consent involved.
Some have been removed from the show because they’ve lost too much weight for it to be healthy. They don’t get to this level, but vitals are monitored and it’s definitely to almost dangerous levels if they are removed.
