Let's take a closer look at Lee's response. Lee made both errors in an August 6 piece titled Bill Maher Claims ‘Fat Celebration’ Is Happening In U.S., Oversimplifies Obesity Epidemic. So far, all Maher's critics have either straw-manned his points or accused him of oversimplifying a discussion they have actually convoluted with feel-good gobbledygook. Overweight people who slim down are routinely and wrongly criticized for their efforts.We know why most people gain weight and how they can lose it arguments to the contrary are stupid.Obesity carries significant health risks.This is an example of people “rewriting science” to fit their ideology. Our society no longer treats obesity as a preventable health condition but a protected status.But even if someone thought Maher's jokes were out of line, what he said was accurate.
I was obese for most of my childhood and young adult years, yet I found no offense in what he said. r0zmqtamUlĪs far as edgy comedy goes, Maher's segment was rather mild. We’ve gone from fat acceptance to fat celebration. There’s a disturbing trend going on in America these days with rewriting science to fit ideology.
For performing this public service, Maher was accused of being "hateful and ignorant" and ignoring the food industry's role as "the main cause in our obesity epidemic." You can watch the clip in the tweet below. Over the weekend, Bill Maher took the fat-acceptance movement to task for lying about the dangers of obesity and excusing overweight people from taking responsibility for their eating and exercise habits.
