What Bill said was pretty douchey. I do agree with him that we have an "eating shit" problem in the U.S. Most of us who are chubby are chubby because of food decisions we make. My food decisions may have a tinge of mental health in the mix, but it's mostly me, just eating shit. That said, of course fat shaming isn't going to help. What kind of monster thinks body shaming is okay? Fuck that attitude. Drowning people don't survive because you held their head under water.
And as the article mentioned, Maher seems to think that 'eating shit' is always a personal choice. He ignores the obvious link between poverty and obesity. It's a helluva lot cheaper to eat chips and chocolate Hobnobs than leafy greens and grilled tuna.
He is - and always has been - a myopic, self-righteous, bigoted twat.

I was going to say this. Our government just confirmed this for the dozenth time, actually.

Not to mention our own government is infiltrated by corporate interests who somehow convinced the FDA and an entire fucking nation that white bread is healthier than vegetables.
