Bill Maher telling it like it is. He's still a flaming liberal but I agree with him on this:
During the latest episode of HBO’s "Real Time with Bill Maher," the comedian took aim at America’s obesity epidemic and torched the culture for promoting not only "fat acceptance," but "fat celebration."
Maher declared the "disturbing trend" to be "Orwellian" and urged Americans to stop spinning obesity as a positive and lose some weight.
"There is a disturbing trend going on in America these days," the HBO host began, describing it as, "rewriting science to fit ideology to just fit what you want reality to be." Maher explained that Americans' current views on being overweight are part of this trend.
"We’ve gone from fat acceptance to fat celebration. That’s new. That is new," he said emphatically. "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," he lamented......
The famous cultural critic followed that with his claim that the idea of "’healthy at any weight’ is an unchallenged lie that people tell themselves so they can go on eating whatever they want" He admitted that "is fine," and that he’s "done many self-destructive things too," but drew the line at pretending those things are good.
"But no one pretended there was positivity in smoking," he asserted.
