I can see how you might misunderstand body positivity with “fat acceptance” but you’re missing the point. No one is saying to accept obesity, all anyone has said is that being obese/overweight does not diminish your worth and beauty as a person. And that the beauty standards of models and celebrities are not realistic for every person.

M Mlas I largely find Abby annoying, but her point was valid. She’s expressing how she’s always experienced life as a thin woman which has consequently created a bubble where she’s never had to think about the day to day struggles of being overweight. Pregnancy taught her the minutia of issues related to having additional weight that she would’ve never experienced without pregnancy and how it’s built a newfound empathy for the experiences of plus sized women. She’s also clear to say that the experience in temporary and she only got a glimpse of what it’s like.. Now only if she had that level of introspection & humility for poor/working class people and people of color

If not for shame I would have never gotten sober. People suffering with morbid obesity are addicted and they are killing themselves.

Yes, obesity can be linked to emotional problems, but if you're honest, you know that is a very tiny portion of the fat popultation. It is almost exclusively about people making bad decisions and being lazy.

Marioni Bruno i haven’t heard „leftists“ argue that. Body positivity and such movements are fringe academic and social media movements.

But also body chemistry can change and many doctors are not helpful to find the sources of problems, and worse, don't have a better answer than the chicken rice veggies 4-6 meal cut diet. If you're diabetic, or even borderline, each time you eat, no matter what it is, causes you to spike.

you should at least take a bad diet and a potential obesity seriously. from the JRE podcast with Bill Maher: You don't defend a smoking habit or a drug addiction by not taking it seriously. James had a real potential to actually make a difference here. 40 000 people die every day from obesity, and all of society are paying for it.

You’re part of the problem then

@@Dpumarino the problem is that 40 000 people die from obesity every day in america. I'm not saying shaming is the way to go, but that wasn't even Bill's original message. It's been edited to look that way. James had an opportunity to actually make a difference, but he wanted to win one battle instead of millions.

When I was kid at like age 10 or something, I brought a plate of chips in a restaurant to my table, and I saw this mother and father looking at it in sadness...I don’t know why I noticed, I just remember being self aware all of a sudden, and then asked my mother ‘do I have too many chips on my plate?’ She said something like ‘oh you do, silly, dont just have chips, try other things’ and ever since that day I decided to lose weight and by the time I was 18 I was the healthiest I’ve ever been. It’s painful to be shamed but it envoked me to do something about it because for a brief moment I realised I hate being fat.

His point is misunderstood because fat shaming is not the answer here. Is argument is weak. We blamed advertisement company's once we learned the effects of smoking. If people are so concerned for others health. Go after the source...healthy eating and having accessible healthy choices is all based on classism. Mass farmers and processed food.

@@TheArsenalgunner28 I had a similar experience only it was with my sister. She said to me "you'll never be as thin as me" my response was "watch me" & I went on to drop 56kg.

@@neonrays28 False. First of all, obese people spend an incredible amount of money on food (the bad ones unfortunately). Secondly, rice and beans or lentils very healthy, and very cheap. Thirdly, there are many free YT videos that will explain what healthy foods are. There is no classism in obesity, just a lack of education (or accepting the knowledge)

Nobody chooses to be obese. The diet industry is a billion dollar industry! Obesity became a problem when dieting became the solution. A meta analysis of the diets show a 97% fail rate. With the side effect of weight gain. Would you take a cure that causes u to fail and get worse? I think not...but that's what is offered. It was concluded that it is better to never diet in the first place. It is better for your health overall and psyche. Google Intuitive eating research for more into. If I may, CIG smoking is a choice in the beginning.. U don't need it to live like food. U can go without it. U can't go without food... Good luck to us all! We all have something- why make it any harder for each other..

Raph Sherman, that's awesome that you can LAUGH and not get all butthurt over Bill's piece. I think his MAIN point is very much to make sure we are not sending out very bad messages, or glorifying, obesity.

You are a person who is truly happy in their body. So-called fat acceptance advocates go off the rails if you ever so slightly hint at mentioning fat people. Hardly happy in their bodies if they react so fierce

Raph Sherman and what do you say to someone who’s also fat and didn’t find it funny? I get you found it funny and all power to you, but you don’t know everyone else’s situation. How about you get to know someone first before ‘shaming’ them for being overweight. Why not help them in a way that’s actually beneficial to the person instead of just assuming that shaming them will automatically work?

You'll get somebody telling you how they went healthy and didn't lose weight. But those stories always tend to be about ppl who didn't try for long enough & were expecting instant results, or ppl who are simply not being honest about their caloric intake. If you burn more than you consume, you will lose weight. That is just your body works (unless you are on some sort of medication that makes it hard, which is NOT THE MAJORITY of obese people). Yes, people have different metabolisms and lose/gain easier, but as you said, it is ALWAYS possible to lose the weight. For 99% of the population of obese ppl, you just need to be putting in the effort. And no, you shouldn't be bullied for being overweight, but we need to stop acting like it's perfectly fine when you're really just shortening your life and don't feel like addressing the problem. We have commercials that literally make smokers feel like the worst people on earth, but say anything about somebody needing to lose weight and you're the worst. And I am speaking in terms of being unhealthy & your doctors telling you that you have a problem. Of course there are ppl that are bigger but not unhealthy. The rebuttal always seems like we are trying to force everybody to look like models or something,

Well stated. Myself I lost weight but started picking up fat as I began to lift and build. I am focused on some weights and cardio. But yeah I think a little cheat I can work off like a donut or ice cream. Its finding food I feel gives me energy and I dont need too much of is the struggle.

Spoken like a true, unbiased expert. Thank you for the weigh-in.

Yes and if people would wake up and get a whiff of reality and realize there are so many symptoms to being obese or overweight and living a sedentary lifestyle.

@@Ray03595 The way smokers are treated is pretty messed up to. James Corden's response was really good. It acknowledged that being overweight is unhealthy and that a healthy weight and lifestyle is something that people should try very hard to attain and maintain. The point is that nobody outside of Sumo circles wants to be fat. Everybody who is fat is already ashamed of it and they're either already working on it or sinking into despair born of frustration. Either way, fat shaming is not going to change their behavior, it's just going to cause them additional emotional pain.

"In August, 53 Americans died from mass shootings. Terrible, right? You know how many died from obesity? 40,000." - Bill Maher You know what, if shaming people manages to skew this number? Then I'm all for shaming. Secondly, it's only damaging to the weak willed, and emotionally fragile. I was actually made fun of for the opposite, of being too skinny (which I was) when I was a kid. So, I took up more athletics, and put on some proper weight. For every story someone will tell me of shaming being "so bad", I'll give them 10 of it being "so good". So really, take your tender feelings, and throw them out the window. They aren't doing you any good.

@Jonny Tainment How about honesty and facts instead of sensitivity?

Honest and facts with sensitivity dumb arse or you can’t read between the lines? Are you one of those kids in school they had to take to special ed to slowly and loudly explain what 2 + 2 is?

What about countries that do have public health care?? Everyone's paying for them. Diabetes is practically guaranteed to follow obesity. What if you're a friend? Do you want to have them needing a walker at 60, simply because they'll be unable to carry their weight? Do you want them to be bedfast for two decades, until they can finally die?? Why does that cheap rush seem to have so much more life qualitiy for them, than what they're giving up?? And what about all that money, do some people actually gorge themselves into debt these days?? Maybe someone just has to give them a good shake now and then, and maybe that's Maher's approach really.

"With sensitivity" you fucking pussy. What happen to real men with thick enough skin that criticism isn't fucking sobbed over, but rather used as moments of reflection, AT LEAST briefly after the initial sting and anger fades? We live in a country where accountability is an endangered idea.

@Jo Sephine Did you just say that people in poor countries are obese by choice but in America obese people are obese because of capitalism? So America, the wealthiest country in the world can't control what they eat and yet in other countries where famine is a real issue, they should be held accountable for their food choices? Please understand that in Europe, most people aren't obese, poor and rich alike. The fact that people can't stop eating fast food is not a money issue. Even if you ate only fast food. McDonald's has healthy options. In fact, nearly all fast food joints have healthy options now. And look at Meghan McCain and James Corden, I would say they are doing well financially. So why do they eat the way they do? The fact is people will eat what they want to eat.

Will Meyers walk behind them, problem solved

@@maridestifanes5799 too big to walk behind.

I heard it, he makes the apology of fat-shaming and it’s just disgusting.

VIRGINIA DELGADO no not true. The start of the dialogue was about the Dems not addressing one of the major problems with our healthcare system in the debates. It’s about the crap foods we eat that contribute to obesity. AND while posting pics of these same candidates take huge bites into these same processed foods that contribute to bad eating habits. Then he goes into his diatribe about fat shaming. But the major takeaway people only see are the jokes about fat shaming and NOT the criticism about the root causes of it OR the irony of the Dems talking about what healthcare policies we should adopt INSTEAD of rooting out the cause of poor health from the beginning (poor diet/poor food choices). Are you sure you watched it in its entirety?

Rah Digga he didn’t get his message accross because of his stupid decision to encourage fat-shaming.

VIRGINIA DELGADO I disagree. There are people that understood. The problem is most people that don’t watch the entirety of things and base their opinions on 15 sec Instagram clips. That’s why Donald Trump and make his BS claims of fake news and people DO stop and question news sources. The cast here literally criticize Bill by rehashing the same causes of obesity that Bill himself criticizes the Dems for not addressing in the debates. I humbly disagree with the cast of the view on this. I think anyone that fails to grasp the larger issue being addressed by nit picking the smaller points of the message are doomed to be their own roadblock in life. James Corden struggles with obesity are a problem, no one argues that, but the same way we criticize addiction, recognize that it’s a problem and encourage people to go to rehab to beat it, we should do that to people while are obese. Instead we tell people it’s ok and others are wrong for fat shaming them. Fat shaming a women who has a voluptuous body type and claiming she’s not skinny enough to be a model and criticizing a man that is three hundred pounds and eats 4 Big Macs and a large Diet Coke are two completely different things. The man has no excuse and telling him it’s ok and no one should fat shame him is BS.

Rah Digga what is it to you if you shame someone? You must be pretty perfect to dare criticize anything else but your own reflexion...

Well, she IS a lawyer, whilst the others aren't.

@Jo Sephine No, the easiest is to be passive and not speaking up. And americans as a people aren't speaking up, both on a political and personal level. You clearly need reforms when it comes to food, because it's obvious you can't be trusted with your own choices.

I mean no offence Jo, but have you tried changing the diet, drinking only water instead of fizzy drinks etc? Trust me, if your diet is light, you will even loose weight without working out. Are you trying to compare yourself to an alcoholic who's dependent on ethanol to carry on? Yes, you are dependent on food, but it is your choice what you eat, and since then it is totally up to you how you maintain your weight. Try to go hungry, grab a fruit and stop telling everyone how rude they are for stating the obvious. NOONE ever would say you are fat to insult you, but rather to hint you that you must do something to change it if you want. If you don't stop caring for others people opinions and carry on. Isn't that about how you feel with yourself?

Yes there are. It's not every overweight person of course, nor maybe a majority of them. But there are people who are overweight from medical conditions, from genetics, or from things other than simple laziness and unhealthy eating.

Exactly. It didn't just happen one day. You picked up bad habits. I don't think shaming helps too much, but teaching people better eating/exercise habits is the right way to go. Acting like everything is fine about your body is just being in denial about reality.

And if the man likes to eat so be it , he’s rich, and if you where a rich comedian you would eat too( I would too, cause why not).

I’m not trying to call you out or anything, I just wanted to say this to make you think about how much worse things could be fire this planet. We could all be dead right now.

You think obesity and fat shaming are not issues? Where on earth do you live?

@@andreacigala2709 Probably not America

Jeremy D Ooops, forgot to show that clip.

@destini miss How about honesty? Has becoming fat improved your depression at all? If not, why are you still on a medication which is making you worse? If it does help, then wait until the treatment is over, and you'll lose all the weight you've gained.

@@nerdanalog1707 I know I'm fat. It's a fact. I don't need people who make fun about how I am. And I don't understand why is so funny to mock overweight people.

Says the fake profile. Yeah, sure buddy.

That's not love. It's contempt.

It's not tough love, it's abuse.

@@msvideos234 how is my profile fake?

some of y'all missed the point of maher's segment. he is saying that our society in america has become overly self indulgent, he cited lots of examples including decadent fast food. obesity is a symptom of that

Wrong. You are fat because you eat more calories than you burn. Stop making excuses, fatty

bill Maher is 100 right, no excuses

The bottom line is It comes from a place of caring, even if it can hurt. For me hurt is a big motivator to bettering myself. It might be harsh for some, but what if nothing else is working? Tough love hurts, but it is love regardless. If all else fails maybe it might work. We don’t want the people we care about leaving this earth earlier than they need to

@@chrisj2431 that might be people you care about...but online where it's only strangers and creepy hypocrites who don't give a damned whom they insult, it's more about insecurity and trying to blow someone's candle out to make yours shine brighter.

@@edward-eq5ys Bill Mahar also think Vaccine can lead to Autism.

Amen

Tyler Montana but if you don’t love yourself, you aren’t going to get up and exercise, or have a salad instead of a burger and fries. You never know someone else’s journey. Have some compassion.

@@essence174 He's right. I'm sorry if your depressed but you know whats worse than being depressed? Being depressed and fat. Real compassion is telling people what they need to hear not what they want to hear.

Bill Maher hates religion.

I.P Freely but you can tell someone they need to make a change without shaming them. How would you feel if your words kill someone, or add to their depression. You never know what someone is going through.

He's speaking in general. So how will u know who is fat based on genetic or poor circumstances??. He spoke about shaming in general

@Veganism Kills what rhetoric did I write???. I was responding to the person before me comment. He spoke about poor circumstances and genetic issues. My response was that bill was speaking in general terms and how will u know which persons are obese based on what circumstance. WTH are u talking about????

@Veganism Kills what's a "normal" weight size???

Yeah, that must be where 99% of this stems from....

Me too! And you can lose weight

@@urbanstuff9950 right? the exception doesn't make the rule

God bless you always

In her defense I rather her, someone actually plus size, comments on this particular issue rather than someone pencil thin line sunny or Abby.

Couldn't have said it better myself. We do however shame people into being straight and it 'works'. As in, people try and be straight even though that's not what their body is telling them that they should be. The same way I feel about bigger people. Your body's genetics are telling you be this size, so why are you fighting it and being balemic so that you can be a smaller size? Because of the shame. And that's the consequence of shaming things out of your control. You control if you put on your seatbelt. You control if you smoke a cigarette (besides addiction taking that control away from some people). But that's not the same argument when it comes to how much your body absorbs and discards things that you eat. It's different for each person.

The modern food industry has profited from turning consumers into addicts by use of salt, fat and sugar

Their is a positive way to encourage people and then there are ways that don't work. Listening to his entire part it was kinda rough. An james is right its bullying

ExPFC Wintergreen v2.0, i agree with that sentiment, however, whether we were made addicts was originally done on purpose is debatable. Why? Because the human body evolved to crave sugars and fats precisely because they are the best and most efficient sources of energy. The problem, however, is that we humans relatively recently in our evolutionary history found a way to manufacture sugars and fats artificially in amounts that have never existed in nature. Our hunter gatherer ancestors needed as much sugar as they could get. So we therefore evolved to crave it. But sugars in their natural sources and in their natural states always come in small quantities and always accompanied by other things, preventing overconsumption. Fructose exists in fruits, but you would have to impossibly consume a whole bag of oranges to get the sugar found in one glass of orange juice. There’s just too much fibre in fruits that eating them itself prevents you from over consuming sugar in its natural state from natural sources. Yet how easily do some people drink a quart of orange juice? And that’s pure orange juice without added sugars. Now imagine artificial orange drinks with added sugars. Now imagine soda pop. You would have to drink an impossible amount of milk to get fat from lactose (the sugar found in milk). There’s just too much protein and whey. We evolved to crave fat. But how many animals would we need to hunt and devour to get enough fat on its natural state from cuts of meat we eat, or how many olives would we need to eat to get the equivalent of a teaspoon on oil. But how easily do we now consume the oils we press from olives. Or margarines. We’ve even discovered how to extract the fat from milk to make butter. We evolved to crave all the things we require to survive. That craving evolved because we needed a reason to seek it out in nature in enough quantities to meet our requirements. Now, however, we have learnt to manufacture it all (changing our surrounding circumstance) but our craving for it has not had the time to evolved to crave it less given the vast artificial availability of it all.

What do you eat though? Not insulting you personally, but you can out eat ANY health club exercise, really, UNLESS you run SUPER MARATHONS or something. Just a general question. I find that folks OVERESTIMATE how many calories stuff burns. ONE MUFFIN can take 10 miles of jogging to burn off, or something, really! = O

najafa I actually eat in moderation better than before. I mostly cut out a lot of bread and other carbs. Mostly, I eat heavy during lunch time.

They deliberately missed it.

@@mysticaltyger2009 exactly. They got it. But if you wanna control the narrative, you choose what to highlight and how to interpret it

Tonia Bowie Me too. They complain that the “organic” food is too expensive and I was trying to help one mother out with choosing affordable “organic”.. the truth is that it is time consuming more than expensive. I told her instead of watching reality tv cook something, pack some of it up for lunches etc. she had an excuse for everything. I told her keep complaining it’s too expensive and see that hospital bill and complain about time consuming and you won’t have much time left eating like that. I know it’s challenging but it’s worth a shot but hey you can only lead the horse to the water but you can’t 👀

Exactly

@@GoddessLuna9 literally the QUALITY of available food is also a huge issue. I've lived in a food desert where the only market sold produce that would consistently rot within 2 days of buying it and they were always selling old and wilted lettuce at half priced. One day I came across the chain in a wealthy part of the city, you would not believe how night and day that experience was.

@mago lago If you don't have the money to afford an egg, then you aren't obese. But if you can afford a soda or a Starbucks coffee, you can definitely buy an egg.

Traditional foods haven't been taken away. They simply chose to eat modern American foods.

Raja1938 ........when native Americans were put on reservations the US government had to PROVIDE foods for them to eat and those foods were high in sugar, starch, salt, etc which is a huge reason why Native Americans have the highest prevalence of diabetes

@Veganism Kills I'm skinny as a rail, my mom was and my one kid is. No matter how much we eat, we can't gain weight.

Lynn Appleby oh my, please don’t embarrass native Indians , they are noble people who do not need excuses made for them by a melt

@@nationstates7699 it's not an excuse. It's a physiological, historical fact. The consequence of US government policy that was devastating to people's culture, their livelihood, way of life, hunting and their food system. Their genetics from thousands of years.

​@J Leicht Nothing original here. As if you pay enough taxes to support your parents who raised such an idiot, never mind diabetes medication. How many people would you say that too that have lung cancer and are dying in hospitals?

Obesity is what Bill was talking about. There's a difference we have the highest amount of obese people than any other country in the world. The problem is people are fat in this country because are government is trying to kill us. It's socioeconomic yes but also they want us fat and sickly to benefit big pharma, the "healthcare" system the fast food industry etc it's disgusting. The people aren't to blame but the government isn't helping. This obesity problem only exists in America why is that??????

@Veganism Kills Wow, someone is triggered.

@Veganism Kills And you stereotype. Cant say its food that keeps you fat, then say being active is the only way to not be fat. Food intake can do more for your weight than exercise. But not all fat people have poor diets. Either its both or its neither. But Im being contradictory? LOL What else can you expect from someone with that KZfaq name. The thing is, Im sure you know all this, you are just looking for a way to get permission to be a bigot. No one is stopping you, you just don't want pushback for being a bigot.
