on a recent trip to the US we had a&w rootbeer floats, mostly because of nostalgia. with the free rootbeer refill it was a total of 32oz (a liter) of soda and the equivalent of one and a half scoops of soft serve ice cream. i wanted to vomit afterwards. but after returning from the US, I have not had any more than 16oz (500ml) of soda in over 11 months. sadly the nostalgia was too much for one of my travel companions and he kept drinking floats and milkshakes, and now he has diabetes.

Bill never claimed that excessive bullying towards fat people was necessary he just explained that society should not encourage unhealthy behavior and that is common sense honestly.

Not typical but Bill's truth here fueled me to be impeccable in diet/exercise since the moment this aired. I feel better, I'm healthier and I'm glad he delivered the hard truth.

While I agree that Bill Maher usually talks like an ashole, and goes too far for comedy purpose, he is also usually right. I get he is harsh, I get this is far more complicated issue, but americans do have a problem. A BIG problem. We have similar problem here in Europe. There are more fat people and fat kids that EVER before, but, man, what we call "fat " here, is almost a minor problem compared to what we see on tv or internet on the streets in USA. Not in movies ofcourse, but on TV. It is scary. It looks like almost everyone has weight problems. What both James and Bill failed to mention is the poverty in USA and the whole idea of companies making money no matter the consequences. From what I hear and read, there are areas where people can't find normal food. Or can't afford any. And while there are very poor countries in Europe, like mine, we rarely have this food problem. It's a vastly different culture here from what we see in USA or even Western Europe. And it does include food and health. Kids here learn about food and health at home first, than sinse kindergarden and the whole time during school. You almost can't find anyone here, male or female who can't cook on some basic level. It feels like Americans have problems with general knowledge and are very sensitive to any critisism. So they scream to the sky when someone is saying something harsh to them, but don't react when they are lied with sweet words. Interesting. Your medication costs huge amounts of money, normal food is insanely expensive, and there is sugar in everything, there are things in the food, that Europe considers poison, kids have diabetes, thousands of peope die every month from obesity, but let's not allow people like Bill Maher to hurt someones feelings.

My wife started keto (a high fat, very low carb, no sugar diet) a year ago her weight was over 300.lbs she lost 80.lbs in that time period without exercise and her blood sugar decreased considerably low(hypertension stage 2) As a result, her allergies are under control, nose bleeds have stopped, and energy levels have increased, all in all started going to the gym, which in my opinion is a healthy lifestyle change for the better with little to no Doctor visits or medications.

Actually, it is the fact that healthcare for the masses has gone the way of the dinosaurs! If healthcare was more prevalent & didn't damn most of the country along with poverty, there wouldn't be as many unhealthy people. So few have access to doctors, esp good doctors along with affordable programs to help people return to good health, that this is the natural outcome. Lack of affordable healthcare and a livable income has a great deal to do with the failing health of Americans. Used to be that when a person went to work, they automatically had excellent health insurance. That has not been the case in a very long time. Few employers even OFFER health insurance anymore let alone good health insurance! And then there is the corporate greed that won't allow healthy alternatives, especially affordable healthy alternatives!

I have to wholeheartedly disagree. I live in the UK and on a two week visit to America, I had a very difficult time finding healthy foods that weren't packed with sugar. EVEN THE BREAD HAD SUGAR. Americans are set up to fail. And particularly because I was staying in New York, it was very difficult to find a grocery store with fresh vegetables that wasn't 20 minutes away by public transport or bus, considering that not all places have a Wholefoods. This is really not the case in most cities in the UK. Even the smallest of Tesco's (which is a big supermarket chain in the UK) will have a decent selection of fruits, veg and grains to make a proper meal. Fresh fruits and vegetables are pretty accessible in the UK. Packaged foods like bread and oatmeal aren't packed with sugar, and it is just a lot easier to eat healthier. Even though I am pretty health conscious, I know if I'd stayed longer in the US, I'd be gaining weight because healthy food is just not accessible. I really don't blame Americans at all!

@@linaskittles97 Thank you so much for saying what you did! In the area where I live there is no such thing as public transit. It simply doesn't exist. And just for clarity, I LOVE WHOLEFOODs as a store; however, there is no way on earth I'd be able to afford to shop there on a regular basis. The Wholefoods closest to me, which is almost 2hrs away from where I live (and I'm legally blind even though I do I still retain some light perception, not much but I do have some), resides in one of the most wealthiest of cities in a nearby 100mi radius. The prices on everything there reflects it too. In as much as I love mochi ice cream, I can't buy more than 1 or 2 at a time when I'd prefer to buy maybe 6 to freeze for special occasions. And I absolutely adore Castelvetrano olives w/feta but again, you can't find them anywhere other than Wholefoods & they are so outrageously priced that I tend to buy only the smallest in a container w/bits of feta & a little olive oil drizzled over them. My husband & I enjoy a couple olives each while walking along the strip area & listening to local musicians who are usually set up on weekends. The few times a year we go, we place a cooler in the backseat of the car in case we can bring something home. I make our salad dressings & oils, which go perfectly with fresh baked bread. The only olives that can be found locally are so heavily soaked in brine that no amount of rinsing, soaking, & resoaking will make them edible in anything shy of a martini... and even so, the local olives available aren't even decent enough to grace the glass of a martini. Furthermore, the only way to get a decent martini using gin & vermouth is to make it at home or go almost an hour from where we live then pay a premium to get it. Personally, I don't want apples, caramel, or chocolate sauce in my martini. Call me old-fashioned, prudish, or a purist. I don't get one often so when I do, I'd surely take quality over quantity any day. The other olives available here are out of a can only with these, you end up tasting more metal than olive. It's tough to get fresh quality Bosc Pears, which I love poached. My husband shocked me last year when he came home with a bag of Japanese pears last year! They're often mistaken for apples since they don't have the teardrop pear shape; they're also thicker around the middle than traditional apples found here. The only reason he knew what they were when he saw them was bc I lived just outside DC when we began dating some 30yrs ago. My late dad & I used to frequent Chinatown & fresh farmer markets. It's difficult to find anywhere that serves authentic Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Greek, Indian, Italian, etc... cuisine. It's a chore to find anywhere that doesn't over-bread, over-sugar, not to mention deep fry food here. This & the sheer cost of eating out is why I opt to cook at home. Don't get me wrong though, it's been nice having our family & raising our children here. Crime rates are low to nonexistent & the taxes on our home is very low compared to many friends I have from other parts of the country. In fact, I've had all the windows open this past week since it finally cooled off. Despite my making a conscious effort to lock the doors when my husband's not home & overnight, I'm not really afraid of leaving the windows open & the doors unlocked when home alone. It is that kind of neighborhood & that kind of city that we live in along with great schools from elementary through middle, high school, & colleges. But, the major downside, which is the same problem all over the USA and that is the lack of & overly exorbitant cost of fresh foods, even those grown locally. The cost is merely out of reach for most here, including what remains of the middle & working class.

Honestly this is the best Bill Maher monologue in my opinion. Topical, true and comical.

@John Nycto I was in Ireland thinking of ordering beef when I asked the sever if their beef was grass-fed. Her response was’ “Well isn’t that what cows eat?” Not in the States.

He’s right no matter how much you hate it. I grew up obese from around age 11 and by the time I was 16 I was on the brink of type 2 diabetes. It has taken me years of learning about nutrition and what the human body needs to get my health under control, and now, from being 250+ pounds at 16 I’ve settled at my healthy weight of 143 pounds and have found a love of exercise because I can actually do it now! I know everyone is into self love and body acceptance, but when you’re not healthy, when you’re literally killing yourself with food, we have to acknowledge how wrong that mentality is.

An arbitrary number like that will never be an indicator of whether you're healthy... and the only time it really tells you that you're unhealthy is when the number is so undeniably out of natural range that you don't need to know the number to see the problem. 150 might be high for the runt of the litter who capped out at 5'6", 225 might be dangerously unhealthy for a heavy, active build on someone who's 6'4". I don't know you, or your family, so I can't make comments on your situation, but I can say that it's generally ignorant to dismiss ideas based solely on some random numbers that need a lot of context to actually bring any significant meaning to the discussion.

@JimboParadox I see you misunderstood entirely. I'll be more clear this time. Weight and body fat content are not the same thing, and often have no correlation. The factors that contribute to a person's weight are so numerous and varied that using their weight alone to judge a person's health is entirely irrational. Just to illustrate what I mean... compare a person who does nothing in their life except eat, sleep, and basic officework to a person of identical build who runs marathons for fun and works in a field of intense manual labor. The latter is going to weigh more almost every time, and the former will likely appear to weigh more to the ignorant eye. To reiterate my point... weight is a number that means absolutely nothing unless given extensive context. It says absolutely nothing about a person's lifestyle or health on its own, outside of fringe cases where their weight is so far beyond human norms that it's impossible for it to be healthy.

You go Bill. I generally don't share your political opinions, but you are right on about this. And people are glamorizing fat today. We don't do that with other addictions. Keep up the good work on this matter. And don't let people "shame" you away from the truth, which is what's called "fact shaming."

@@charltonblake9967 It's not individual bad choices. Jesus people are so small-minded. Government subsidizes the growth for corporate farmers. Those farmers then lobby for ways to utilize that corn: hence the enormous growth of HFCS. It's about choices. People who can afford to buy healthy food, generally do. In most countries, people who can't afford high priced food have healthier cheap options than Americans. We have fast food. We have a culture centered around high work production with low pay in comparison to that production. So we have a majority of households with two working parents still not making ends meet and also not having the time to cook. In 1991, the American GOVERNMENT changed our food pyramid recommendations based SOLELY on pressure from these corporations. Not to mention slowly increasing portion sizes at more affordable restaurants (does it make sense that the more upscale restaurants that have enormous profit margins but cater to wealthy people never did this?), as well as the fact that it's not the total consumption that scientists point to, but the foods being consumed. America is oversaturated because our foods are oversaturated with processed bullshit. Why would the government make it legal to put "Natural Flavors" on a label with a threshold of about 1% natural? Why do they approve of chemical code words and other deceptive labeling practices? You truly and dangerously underestimate the power of the corporate lobby. We aren't citizens, we're consumers. Corporations FACTUALLY have more rights and more governmental pull than American citizens. I can fucking go on. But maybe you should do your own research because there is little worse than an uninformed judgemental ass hat that thinks they know something.

I agree with Bill, but he’s leaving out some crucial factors. 1) the government subsidizes farmers heavily into ensuring they produce enough food, but many farm for crops that are leading us to be unhealthy (like corn for HFCS). Ever wonder why a fast food burger is way cheaper than a fast food salad? 2) Our work system does not promote healthy meals, it promotes fast, quick meals due to the demands of the middle class & lower workers. 3) Our healthcare system is so fucked that we have sunk ourselves into a reactive healthcare system, instead of a preventative one. Healthcare for all is a great start to reversing this.

@@steffenberr6760 No, but combine the drop in price of shit food with the high price of healthy food and with low income and kablamo, you have a world where people can only afford shit to survive. Which makes them unhealthy, which means they need to seek more medical help, which in America is stupidly expensive, etc etc.

In Europe there is a lot of stigma surrounding overeating. Specifically mainland Europe.

Thank you Bill!! I needed the reminder! I had to listen twice!

Bill’s delivery might’ve been a bit harsh for some, but his points ain’t wrong. I was up to 289lbs a few years ago, all because of bad food choices. After dropping 75 of those pounds (doc’s orders) it’s hard to even look at those old fat me pics 😖 Until you’re able to look in a full length mirror and fat shame yourself enough to say enough’s enough, it’ll be hard to find the motivation to change. But let’s face it. Nobody ever looked at anyone and screamed “OH MY GOSH, you look amazing!” 😱...After GAINING 80lbs.

Recently I lost about 30 pounds. My bucket list has in it “want to trim down so I would know what it’s like to be normal weight. But there is another form of “fat shaming”. It’s when your friends and family push a heavy woman on you and tell you things like “looks shouldn’t matter.”

@Beeklydan

I never got that. I mean, I get looks can fade as we age, and the connection we make with our partner should keep us together, but we should also try to stay healthy for each other. I have always thought when meeting a partner that looks are worth half, and who they are as a person is the other half. If you think they are a great person who is nice, funny, smart, shared interests, but you just don't find them attractive, they would make a great friend but not a partner. If they are physically attractive but you don't care for them as a person, they would be a great 1 night stand. I think it would be shallow to pick someone who looks better than someone you are already attracted to but have more in common with, simply because they look better. But I think expecting someone to make love to someone they are in no means attracted to disrespects a persons personal choices. It is also just chemistry between people. It would be like expecting a gay dude to sleep with a woman because gender shouldn't matter.

Bill nail this one. I went to a party the other day and saw more then half the kids under 10 years old that were extremely overweight. I felt bad for them bc all the future health issues, depression, dating problems. Americans eat terrible and the world are catching up also. We eat so many process food and eat way to much meat. More then 70 % of our health issue could be manage, cure, reduce by just eatting a whole food diet. All these food companies add so many preservatives, artificial flavors just to make more profit and get you more addicted. I wish schools would actually teach children about how our current food habits are bad for us and the pros of eatting healthy diet. Then if you want to make a poor choice then atleast its on you. I had a family member staying over my house and saw how many prescription pills they were taking and i was pretty sure alcohol and poor food diet had a big contribution. Walking and bending down was an issue. Having good health insurance doesn't mean anything if we continue to eat like this.

I'm with Bill in spirit, but fat-shaming doesn't work. One of my best friends told me that when she was growing up, every time her mother criticized her weight, or a doctor said "you need to lose some weight", it sent her on an eating binge. What causes the eating binge? Shame, which reduces your self-esteem to zero. You want to encourage someone to lose weight? Don't shame them into doing it.

All of Europe is seeing increasing obesity rates. The Mediterranean diet is becoming a thing of the past, replaced by fast food and snacks. Ireland, where I'm from is close to Britain in terms of obesity. It is a problem of modern life, convenience food, working lunches, cheap fast food, people spending more time on their digital devices and less exercising. Only a few countries seem to be bucking the trend, mostly for cultural reasons or poverty.

Thirty years ago my grandmother, in her nineties, was in a care center. She had a bad case of arthritis, fell and broke her hip, and never walked again. I visited her every week. It was always great to see her, but the walk down the hall to her room was torture; all these people on their last days. Few were overweight , their health was failing simply because of their age. But today, when I walk down the aisle of a supermarket, I get the same feeling. The heath of so many is failing, not because of their age (many are quite young), but because of their weight. Those who fail to eat right and exercise are no better off than those who can't.

People have come to think that eating somewhat healthy is a diet nowadays.

I grew up in Africa and was relatively wealthy my whole life. Had plenty of food at home but ate just enough. Walked to a lot places and never ate out (too expensive). I never worried or thought about my weight until I lived in the US for about 5+ years! I’m a little overweight and have been trying to loose the few extra pounds before it gets out of hand! The crazy thing is, I don’t even eat that much or eat out often. I mostly eat whole foods and homemade dishes with only Italian extra virgin olive oil and when I occasionally go out, I can’t even finish half of the portions in restaurants and have to take home for 2 more meals. But because I don’t walk a lot I find that I have gained a few pounds and now have to think about my weight, diet and stuff I never had to worry about before. Now I have to read ingredient lists, research stuff and think hard before I take a bite of that inflammatory oil filled food outside of what I make at home. You really have to be super intentional, extra careful, and work hard to make sure you stay healthy whereas in Europe it’s as simple as just buying food and not have to worry about extra 10 ingredients you didn’t know existed!
