Bill Maher Unloads On American Society For Encouraging People To Celebrate Being Fat
The Daily Wire ^ | August 6, 2022 | Daily Wire News

Posted on 08/07/2022 8:31:00 AM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Bill Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” slammed the media and society in general for effectively celebrating people for being fat, warning that the trend is a legitimate national security concern for the United States as the U.S. Military is having a harder and harder time finding candidates who can meet the physical requirements to serve.

“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,” 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 and be fit and healthy, and society praised those who succeeded,” he continued. “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. 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? Scary, isn’t it? ‘Healthy at any weight’ is an unchallenged lie that people tell themselves so they can go on eating whatever they want, which is fine.”

Gee Bill, perhaps they may be doing that for other things…like global warming, or covid and monkey buttpox, and gender and abortion issues, economics or just about any other topic leftists get all giggity about

It’s their business if they want to be obese, but it’s my business if I don’t find them to be attractive. Being a BBW or “curvy “ are idiotic euphemisms for what used to be known as being fat. As for men, I couldn’t care less unless they whine about it .

Bill wasn’t always a raging lefty, when Politically Incorrect was still on ABC, he was quite reasonable most of the time, more of a Centrist.

When our health insurance premiums go up bigtime once again next year, you will know the reason why.

With regard to women especially, a tattoo (aka tramp stamp) has never once improved one’s appearance.

I don’t see tats on women as a deal breaker, unless they’re absolutely covered in them, such as those tattoo “sleeves.”
