I don’t watch either of these guys but I thought I’d weigh in on this ‘controversy’ while it is still relevant.
Bill Maher >Points out how obesity is the biggest cause of mortality in the United States. >States that there aren’t as many fat people in Europe. >Lists off the various bad effects of obesity whether it be physical or social. >States that while 53 people died from mass shootings in August, 40,000 people died from obesity. >States that the Amazon rainforest is getting destroyed in order to create farms and meat factories to appease fatsos. >Gives a monologue for how shame is sometimes necessary to get people to stop doing bad habits like smoking, drinking, or being racist.
James Corden >Claims that being fat is mostly genetic. >Says that Bill is wrong about there not being as many fat people in Europe. >Constantly attempts to look like a victim while attacking Bill. >Calls Bill’s tactic of fat shaming equivalent to bullying and claims that it will either cause fat people to kill themselves or to eat more.
Before I make a comment on who I think is right, what do you guys think?
Atheism is the lead cause of eternal suffering in the fiery pits of Hell. Corden may die 15 years earlier, comparatively, but will have the last laugh.
Hudson Foster
Bill Maher is a hack but speaking as a (formerly) fat fuck who got skinny then became a fat fuck again because I was being a bitch, he's correct.
Fuck fatties, they're lazy and they eat to damn much.
Alexander Nelson
i think they both look like faggots but the fat one is fat so hes a bigger faggot
Isaiah James
Why can't fat people just stop eating too much.
Lucas Thomas
Maher is right. I have never been able to stomach that fat fuck. He comes off as petty, entitled, snobby, and incredibly obnoxious. The amount of C O P E and S E E T H E coming from fat fucks is stratospherical sometimes.
Carson Turner
>before I give my opinion >gives hugely biased account Lol and you complain about liberal media being biased???
Joseph Sullivan
they are both right. American fats are obese from gluttony and greed. European fats are genetical anomalies, their ancestors were probably serfs and anything they eat their genes think that it should be stored as fat. But an European fat doesn't look as an abomination as an American one does.
Ryan Harris
>Name two cameramen in the room right now.
Eli Williams
>States that there aren’t as many fat people in Europe. Although he's right on most points. The UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, etc. are trailing in obesity rates of like 25% or greater.
Cameron Scott
England has more fatties than the rest Europe because they have poor eating habits like Americans. Heck American eating habits are just English just a little bit more extreme. Both are hacks but eat healthy and work out and yes some people will never be a size 0 but anything over 250 is unhealthy
John Wilson
>hugely biased account What exactly is biased in his account of points in the interventions?
Jordan Barnes
Corden is a bitch, but you're legit retarded if you think shaming is a tactic that will affect any sort of widespread change when it comes to the obesity issues affecting the west. Pussy though it is, fat fucks need a light at the end of their salt, sugar, and fat soaked tunnel. They need to be shown that they CAN take control over this shit, that they CAN be happy cooking and eating right, that change IS possible. It's fun to make /fph/ threads, and I enjoy them as much as everyone else, but recognize that in the real world, these are weak addicts you're dealing with.
That doesn't mean accepting their bullshit or excuses, in fact we need to be willing to draw a hard line when it comes to >muh genetics type bullshit. But just mocking, without offering a way out, is ultimately destructive. Be willing to say what you actually want. Do you want to actually fix this problem, or do you just want to enjoy mocking these buttergolems?
if fat people cure themselves of the fat then i cant make fun of them anymore
Grayson Davis
Shaming has been a major behavioral influence in human societies for longer than recorded history. People are highly responsive to pressure from their communities to perform particular roles or actions. Most people barely even have a community anymore though.
Julian Bailey
OP here. Bill's right and James is wrong. Europe does have fat people, but the fattest country is Europe (Malta) and it is skinnier than 30 American states. I never claimed to be unbiased, I think one is right and one is wrong. I stated before that I don’t watch either, so this isn’t anything personal. James really wasn’t giving arguments, but appeals to emotion.
>Bill Maher >>Points out how obesity is the biggest cause of mortality in the United States. True >>States that there aren’t as many fat people in Europe. Mostly true. UK is close. >>Lists off the various bad effects of obesity whether it be physical or social. That fat people have trouble walking is reason enough >>States that while 53 people died from mass shootings in August, 40,000 people died from obesity. Irrelevant but true. Mass shootings are just inherently more interesting than the slow death of society and culture. >>States that the Amazon rainforest is getting destroyed in order to create farms and meat factories to appease fatsos. Not sure about this, I think this is probably more likely due to increased meat consumption in poor countries/rising population. >>Gives a monologue for how shame is sometimes necessary to get people to stop doing bad habits like smoking, drinking, or being racist. Seems sensible, it's what they do in Japan. youtube.com/watch?v=wwH3rA8Evow >James Corden >>Claims that being fat is mostly genetic. True, weight in a particular environment is mostly genetic (80%). The environment has changed in the last 50 years (work has become far more sedentary). You have to consciously change your environment/behaviour to lose weight. >>Calls Bill’s tactic of fat shaming equivalent to bullying and claims that it will either cause fat people to kill themselves or to eat more. Fat people are too lazy to kill themselves.

Gabriel Roberts
You said it yourself. >Most people barely even have a community anymore Where are these fatties going to be held accountable for their destructive behavior? Who is going to point at them and laugh when they shuffle into their house with a Wendy's bag holding enough food for 3 people? Fucking tard.
Easton Bennett
They both seem like fags, but Corden just comes off a super fake unlikeable dude everyime I see him. He has all the money in the world, if he really wanted to lose weight he could.
Aaron Ward
It's different for everyone though. There are actual people who make a lifestyle change do to social shaming.
Aiden Allen
Bill Maher is right and wrong. He says people should be shaming fat people, which is sorta stupid because that makes it sound like you mean actively calling fat people names or something. When it's more like people should be praising beautiful and thin people more rather than the whole progressive thing about praising ugly and fat people.
Bigger problem is that you have people shamed for praising being thin. Like it Britain there was the backlash against some diet shake company or whatever that did an advertising campaign with a thin woman and a tagline "are you beach body ready?", which seemed to result in counter campaigns to promote being comfortable being fat. Most people end up overlooking the backlash because they see it as insane progressives, but it still ends up being effective as they help normalize the grossly obese.
Fat people are presented as average in so many areas of life now that it throws off everyone's sense of what SHOULD be average.
Robert Hill
>There are actual people who make a lifestyle change do to social shaming Sure, I see people on /fit/ post that all the time. But re-read what I wrote >widespread change Fact is this is not something that will solve this problem for a MAJORITY of westerners.
Noah Jenkins
Have you considered that the fact that I mention that nobody has communities anymore may mean that the message of my post is different from what you have taken away from it?
Ryan Cox
>there are people on this board RIGHT NOW who unironically think the only reason they are pushing 400lbs is because of 'genetics'

Brandon Clark
>OP here. Bill's right and James is wrong. Europe does have fat people, but the fattest country is Europe (Malta) and it is skinnier than 30 American states.
Another issue here is that it's typically blacks and Hispanics that are obese. So for white people that don't live in black or Hispanic areas they don't even notice this obesity issue is as prevalent as it is, since really it's not showing up in their communities.
Gabriel Torres

Nathan Hughes
Butter doesn't make you fat. It's a myth.
Aiden Peterson
There is no such thing as a white American.
Xavier James
I imagine that happens because it's a stereotype that Americans are mostly white plus you can look as those statistics about obesity in the US.
Sebastian Nguyen

Nathaniel Kelly

Bentley Mitchell
Nahh. There are obese white, asian, Hispanic, Indians, natives, blacks...etc American lifestyle and diet will fuck people up. Look at the Sopranos, American Italians are fat fucks while Italians are skinny
Aaron Foster
Do you really care about some minor liberal talking heads getting into a slapfight?
Asher Murphy
I think there's an emotional component that plays into food being an escape or a way to deal with something be it stress/trauma/what have you.
I listened to that one rogan pdocast where the brain scientist said your brain acts differently once you become fat and that it is actually harder to lose weight if you are morbidly obese, from a mental aspect. I've seen other anecdotal studies that show similar things. Like this Asian trainer who couldn't understand why the fat people he trained lacked discipline, so he purposely gained 100 pounds to show it's possible to lose it but he found that once he was fat he hated exercise and craved sugar which was the opposite of how he felt when he was healthy.
Lastly, I think a combination of poor education and living in the first world in the current day is just a recipe for disaster.
Grayson Richardson
>Gives a monologue for how shame is sometimes necessary to get people to stop doing bad habits like smoking, drinking, or being racist. Shame has done nothing to decrease literally any of these things though. In fact, going overboard trying to shame racism has just made more people racist.
Daniel Richardson
Just as with crime statistics, white people still show up less often in comparison to other ethnic groups.
>Obesity rates by race in 2015 >White: 29.7% >Black: 39.8% >Hispanic: 31.8% >Asian: 10.7%
Hispanics aren't much more fat that whites. Blacks are fat as fuck compared to everyone else (largely due to black women) but whites are still being absolutely mogged by asians. White americans are still fatter than the fattest European countries on that other guy's list. So sorry, this isn't a case white people being perfectly healthy and it being solely the minorities' fault for driving up the fat stats. You're not as fat as Shaniqua but you're still a fat fuck and you're definitely not in a position to be shifting the blame onto the latinos who are roughly as fat as you are.
Daniel Cooper
Being overweight or obese is universally agreed upon to be bad for your health. There is no argument to be had. These are cold, hard time proven facts. You will be happier and live longer with significantly less health issues at a healthy weight for your height.
There is no defense for being a fatty. None.
John Parker
>Claims that being fat is mostly genetic. Wrong. Different metabolism doesn't mean the laws of thermodynamics function differently for you. If you eat so much that you get fat, you won't starve if you eat slightly less.
Bentley Brown
Former fatso here, neither is fully right. Shaming works in some cases, but in others it only pushes people further into their habits since they think it's a lose-lose situation and go back to eating as a coping mechanism. In general, the following is all you need to know: >No drinking soda >No snacking >Exercise is frivolous in weight loss compared to diet >You eat because you're bored; Find a new hobby >No diet pills unless you like shitting yourself It's really not that hard. I tried to explain to my mom how she could lose it all just by dropping the soda and so on, but she wouldn't take it seriously.
Chase Jackson

Mentally, they should be able to understand that their lifestyle is not sustainable in any way.
Kayden Young
It is clearly societal factors behind the extreme obesity in Anglo-countries. Most likely due to the precarious work life that leave the common man stressed and without time. Most of them do not even have a month of paid holidays. The lack of public transport and urban sprawl doesn't help either as it fosters an inactive lifestyle.
It is the same with the opioid epidemic. Working men without proper public health care gobbled painkiller so they wouldn't miss a day of wageslaving for their masters.
Brandon Lee
L i t e r a l l y all you have to do to lose weight is eat at a calorie deficit. Making up dumbass excuses is exactly why the majority of westerners are fat lazy pieces of shit that refuse to improve or change their lifestyle. It is pathetic. You are pathetic.
Brody Reed
That's technically true, but I'd add that you should eat things you like at a calorie deficit. There's a reason that the air-popcorn and celery diets fail.
Lincoln Reyes
>How do we solve the greatest public health crisis of our society? >Just tell them to eat less bro Don't you have homework to do?
Blake Gray
It’s well-known that you shouldn’t shame a person with an under-eating food disorder (anorexia) so what makes it right to shame a person with an over-eating food disorder?
Logan King
Who cares.
Eli Kelly
The reason for any diet failing is because the individual is weak willed and decided that it wasn't going to work from the start. The majority of fatties have zero drive to improve or change. If they did they wouldn't have let themselves get to the point of being fat in the first place.
Just because the majority of humanity are retarded low IQ fatheads incapable of having any sort of willpower to stop stuffing their rotten maws for one second doesn't change the fact that losing weight is in fact incredibly simple.
Maher is upwards of 90% in the right. Yes, there are people with congenital conditions that make it extremely difficult to stay thin, but they are the shields that entire marching columns of lazy, self-indulgent, weak-willed, undisciplined fatties waddle behind.
The reason we're at this place as a society was because of the push against bullying
Zachary Scott

Brayden Jones
The biggest factor of losing 120lbs for me was the massive amount of self hate I had for myself. That didn't change after the weight loss but that's a different story. Shame and self hate definitely helped me lose the weight faster and more effectively.

The thing is I’m not a disgusting fat fuck so no is gonna know what my issues are.

that both are retarded and it's done on purpose in order to push a false narrative. - maher is retarded because: people don't get fat because of meat, but because they're gluttonous slothfull sack of shit for one, and for two because of hormones in the meat, gmo veggies, and shit in the water supply. he conveniently pretends that humans are not primarily carnivorous and only opportunistically omnivores. our ancestors used to follow herds, and foraging berries and other sort of local sparse vegetation will only get you that far, mind you. in other words, he is a kike liar (shocker), and regurgitating vegan stupidity. - that other litterally-who is retarded aswell because: crying like a bitch about muh bullying only make you desserving of getting bullied some more. he was here only to appear to fail in order to give his interlocutor a false victory to push a false narrative. muh genetics is a shit excuse: people weren't that fat in the US in the 80's and didn't all mutated all of the sudden in the exact same manner real world =/= capeshit.

If you look at the statistics, obese people are far more likely to have been molested during childhood than people of a healthy weight range - putting on weight for these people is a mechanism to deter molesters by making themselves unattractive. Other than that, some people are just greedy cunts with no self control.

Trump's protectionism and (attempt) to close the borders is still based compared to 90% of the Democrat platform. We mostly hate Trump because he's Zionist; but so are the majority of Democrats. The non-Zionist Dems like Omar are also vehemently anti-white, so basically it's a contest of "who's the least shitty?".
You think Montana or Idaho is fatter than Cali or NY? Check again.

This guys right, you need some support. We are naturally addicted to fatty foods because these things use to be hard to acquire and we where driven to hunt deer to get them. Now we can easily get them with a large coke and no running required.

some fat fucks are malnourished. understand that amerimutts do not eat food, they eat synthethic garbage, it doesn't provide real sustenance (henceforth tricking them into stuffing even more shit in their maws), and only make them bloated (fattening hormones in fact increase mostly water retension). their dogs are legit betterly fed.
Seriously though, most fat people react to being insulted by eating more to cope. Yeah there are gonna be people here who claim otherwise but actual studies have shown this to be true. The last time I posted those on Yea Forums everyone just got mad so whatever, not doing it again, just google them. There has to be some internal motivation to actually improve yourself

Corden: -Fatty -Being fat is not mostly genetic. Fat parents are more likely to have fat kids because they pass their terrible eating habits and complete lack of self-control on to their kids through example -/+He is partially right that there are a lot of fat people in Europe. There aren't as many as in the US, but the number of fatty fat fat fats in Europe is always downplayed by Eurocunts in denial. +/-He is partially right that bullying will only make fat people retreat into themselves and their food and get fatter. Fatties usually eat emotionally, and making them feel horrible will often make them just stop listening to you and shove cake in their mouths. That being said, there is an enormous difference between bullying a fatty and simply letting it be known that their behavior is not acceptable.
