Bill Maher has blasted the media and society at large in the U.S. for celebrating obesity as a “positive” thing.
In an epic rant on his ‘Real Time’ show, Maher stated “There’s a disturbing trend going on in America these days, rewriting science to fit ideology or just to fit what you want reality to be.”
The host continued, “We’ve gone from fat acceptance to fat celebration. That’s new. That is new. To view letting yourself go as a point of pride.”
“We used to at least try and be fit and healthy, and society praised those who succeeded,” Maher continued, explaining “Now, the term ‘body positivity’ is used to mean ‘I’m perfect the way I am because I’m me.’”
“It’s Orwellian how often ‘positivity’ is used to describe what’s not healthy,” Maher further warned, adding that “‘Healthy at any weight’ is an unchallenged lie that people tell themselves so they can go on eating whatever they want.”
Maher further pointed out that “Poor diet is the leading cause of mortality in the United States,” adding “Of course, we’re talking about heart disease and cancer and diabetes, but also as COVID has taught us, obesity is horrible for the immune system, which is why those numbers were off the charts during the pandemic.”
“At some point, acceptance becomes enabling, and if you’re in any way participating in this joyful celebration of gluttony that goes on now, you have blood on your hands, full stop,” Maher further asserted.
Maher also noted that formerly fat celebrities, such as the singer Adele, have been attacked for managing to lose weight.
Maher also noted, “There’s a popular t-shirt that says, ‘I don’t owe no man a flat stomach.’ Okay, no one said you did. You do you. But you’re not a freedom fighter because you want to keep eating donuts.”
Maher also pointed out that 50 years ago people were not obese, stating “Everything’s a struggle; life’s a struggle. But somehow, 50 years ago, this country looked entirely different. You don’t think it was a struggle for them? You think cake wasn’t delicious in 1969?”
“You can make believe you’re fighting some great social justice battle for a besieged minority. But what you’re really doing is enabling addicts,” the host urged.
Watch:
As we highlighted recently, researchers on obesity have called for ‘hurtful’ terms such as ‘morbidly obese’ to be scrapped so as not to harm the feelings of fat people.
Social media giant Instagram is also promoting images of obese people in the name of ‘body positivity’ while refusing to accept healthy eating ads which include photos that show people with well toned bodies.
Two thirds of the population in both Britain and the U.S. are overweight and obesity is imminently set to surpass smoking as the biggest cause of cancer.
The strain on healthcare in both countries because of obesity is clear.
But for god’s sake don’t hurt their feelings.
The media, culture and celebrities are perpetuating the insane claim that being clinically obese is normal and empowering:
The ‘body positivity’ movement is not just a refuge for fat, lazy people who refuse to take personal responsibility for their bad lifestyle choices, its promotion by establishment cultural institutions is literally killing people.
Obesity is linked to a myriad of horrendous, life-threatening diseases and conditions, including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, and osteoarthritis.
Promoting body positivity is as ludicrous as promoting ‘smoker positivity’.
