According to recent studies, America is one of the top ten most obese countries in the entire world. Bill Maher, the controversial comedian who often laughs in the face of "cancel culture," openly joked about America's constant struggle with fatness during Friday's episode of his weekly talk show on HBO called Real Time with Bill Maher.
"There is a disturbing trend going on in America these days, re-writing science to fit an ideology or just to fit what you want reality to be," Maher said. "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 being fit and be healthy, and society praised those who succeeded. Now, the term 'body positivity ' is used to mean 'I'm perfect the way I am because I'm me. It's Orwellian to use how often positivity is used to describe what's not healthy. Of course, you can get away with anything bad for you when you're young. But let me ask you this: Have you ever seen a fat 90-year-old?"
Whether it's on or off camera, Bill Maher has regularly cited America's toleration of being overweight as an ongoing obstacle. Scroll up to watch his hot take on America's obesity problem.
