It doesn't just represent the Body of Christ - it IS the Body of Christ.
Any wonder why people are upset?

You're right. I noticed upon rereading that I was a bit confused there in my wording. Too tired. Must stop.

It doesn't just represent the Body of Christ - it IS the Body of Christ. Since not all Christian churches believe or teach that a wafer IS the actual Body of Christ...
...not all Christian believe that Christ Himself was actually flushed down a toilet, because some people flushed a Communion wafer.

It doesn't just represent the Body of Christ - it IS the Body of Christ. To the observant Protestant, who don't believe it actually is the Body of Christ, but rather a symbol like baptism, it is just as offensive.
I might not agree with Catholic theology on transubstantiation, but I find this offensive as a Christian.

** it IS the Body of Christ.**
This part some Catholics don't understand and non-Catholics definitely don't even come close to getting.
Yet there are more conversions to the Catholic faith these days than ever.

The host in the show was not the body of Christ since there was no ceremony where the breat transformed into the body of Christ.
