Also, all those starvation diets that don't work tend to make you both fatter and malnourished.

as a Floridian, I have to wonder what the fuck Bill is talking about yes, DeSantis gave priority to seniors; but he also gave preferential treatment to wealthier senior communities that happened to be home to major Republican donors it was good that he allowed Publix to become a major vaccination center -- but why didn't he give that same treatment to Wal-Mart or Winn-Dixie? Is it because Publix donated to him more than the other major super markets? also, the beach alone is not the problem -- it's when thousands of drunken assholes are crammed shoulder-to-shoulder that it becomes a problem DeSantis signed executive orders making it ILLEGAL for any county or city government to enforce any health & safety mandates; he sent a SWAT team to raid the home of a woman (and terrify her children) when her only "crime" was allegedly texting lawmakers that DeSantis was suppressing the true numbers of COVID deaths it's easy to say DeSantis is "pro-science" when his predecessor was so anti-science that he could've been a villain on Captain Planet

[@anaibarangan4908]

He can let his guests be more the compensate for how he is, and tow more the party line. That's brilliant if that's what he's doing. I tend to love the one on one guest interviews before he goes to the panel. He should replace Larry King on CNN. He'd be perfect for that. They're like lost orphans without Larry King. However I was watching a little bit of an interview with Netanyahu, and I don't know the name of the journalist doing the interview and he was good. That's more "Sixty Minutes" style, Bill Maher would be great to replace Larry King, and actually even better because of his humor if wants to add any to the interviews. Bill Maher isn't always the funny guy, in everything he's done in his life. He's been invited to do plenty of very serious intellectual group discussions. I tend to put myself in different types of shoes, so now its as if an executive at CNN. Maybe he'd be a lot in Atlanta, Georgia, if that's still CNN headquarters. Lots of liberals. Plenty to feel at home, and the weather is pretty decent. Georgia is a beautiful state if out of the big cities, because even beautiful historical Savannah was having too many crime problems. Used to be considered an extremely desirable state to move to. There's something about Savannah that just fall in love with it immediately, but it's got The Old South type of creepy gothic something to it all, mainly because make it be that way for tourism, but also has the architectural beauty and style, and true class old school Old South gentry to it all. It's probably all liberal too for the most part, even if visually conservative. How not? It's Old South. It's gorgeous. That's why I used to take guests from Spain, because it's a very unknown original beautiful US historical city for Spaniards. They're usually surprised that anything like it exists. I repeatedly stayed at a B&B nearest to The Forrest Gump film bench and park. As if meant to be since the first time. The ghosts there love me. Are helpful and calm, very at peace when I'm there. Know by now that always have to mentally go there with my stuff. 🙃 Probably very eternally trademarked. Understand that? I'd think so.

Travel. Plenty of counties have just as bad food and obesity issues. And in fact, a Stanford study suggests we have over estimated the obesity number by 30 million as BMI was never meant to measure a populations obesity. The guy who came up with it 100+ years ago warned about his formula being used that way. Everyone knows it is just as much garbage as daylight savings time but we never get rid of our well intentioned garbage. That would take political will from our spinless politicians. I more think it is the fact that people don't move as much as they used to and eat too much. I mean I've watched salarymen in Japan work 12 hour days only to go and buy fried fast food and drink beer EVERY night. But the portions are smaller and they are moving more than your average Westerner.

The sheep, especially the left who still trust main stream media, will be hard to convince that they have all been tricked.

Free thinkers have known this since at least June of last year when CDC data started rolling in. The question: why has the medical system played along? I know that big tech has censored doctors/specialists who challenged the narrative, but why don't medical workers inform their own patients first hand???A partial answer: some of the medical workers, especially those who worship the 'authority' or 'authoritative' position, have themselves, been lulled into a lie.

Biggest load of horseshit. Bill doesn't seem to understand and repeats the right wing ignorance, that somehow Fauci and others were "wrong" in suggesting certain precautions early on in the pandemic. How about I put in this way...WHEN A MYSTERY NOVEL VIRUS STARTS SPREADING THROUGH THE WORLD KILLING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS BASED ON HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE OF PREVIOUS SIMILAR PANDEMICS. In other words, when you don't have enough information (given that you can't because it's a new virus) you proceed with caution and use past experience to suggest precautions. This doesn't make you "wrong" if later you learn more about a virus and find that those precautions weren't needed. Republicans and Bill aren't clairvoyant. They were equally wrong about a lot of stuff about the pandemic and they suffered for it. So many didn't want to wear masks and still don't and they are still dying right and left because of it and I say, good riddance. Oh and also, it really grates on my nerves to hear DeSantis, who is equally as criminal in his response to the pandemic as Cuomo, being praised for his covid response. I think he's actually much worse because while Cuomo was instituting logical response in most senses, DeSantis was trying to open up the economy carelessly. Then he was fudging the covid numbers to make it seem like things were better than reality. But DeSantis wasn't just fudging nursing home numbers, he was fudging ALL the covid numbers.

[@Meitti]

@Zuma Zuma You compensate with more exercise. Use your car less, do more hiking or bicycling. I do understand that might be difficult in city landscape but in more rural or suburban regions theres no excuse. Obesity is not caused by simply crappy food but by the simple fact your body has more energy reserved than it uses. Part of why everyone gets fat without noticing in the US is because the obesity problem is hushed about. Our newspapers remind people to exercise at least once a week. A lot of the development should be in schools where kids should be encouraged to exercise more. Not just buffing up the best sports kids in competitive sports, but healthy exercise lessons in general.

[@stevyd]

It's not. Americans are constantly warned about being overweight, its repercussions, our diet, and our need for exercise. We are also warned about shaming, bullying, being rude to, and making jokes about overweight people. The major problem is many poorer people don't have decent health care and often eat badly because of poverty and/or family tradition. Many people live in "Food Deserts", usually poorer areas where only small markets with a very limited healthy food choice exist. These markets usually carry few fresh fruits and vegetables if any, but plenty of snacks, overly processed foods, along with lots of sugary drinks. American Covid deaths will have mostly affected the overweight, the middle age to older folks, the poor, and/or a combination of all these.

[@Meitti]

@@stevyd If americans are constantly warned about being fat, where did the oversight of not linking Covid-deaths to obesity come from?

I’ve never been a big bill Maher because as a conservative I’ve never aligned with his philosophy but lately he is speaking my language.

[@davidtamayo9956]

@Westin Slaten yeah I felt the same way like he purposefully mixed in a little tromp bashing to appease his audience.

[@marvincool3744]

As a liberal I try to be more like him and admit when I was wrong, no matter how uncomfortable it is leaving the echo chamber. If we are to be the party of science, we need to change our minds sometimes.

“and her name was little Debbie” was one of the best closing lines to a new rules segment ever

[@anactorsheart]

For effect yes. But I do wish Bill would properly invest in discourse and in understanding obesity better. He always has a very damaging put down the cheeseburger fatty approach that if on any other topic wouldn't be acceptable.

We love Bill Maher and HBO! Unfortunately, recently after going through all the rounds of audition successfully for a new HBO show, last minute we got a call “are you vaccinated?” Very disappointing experience. It’s our private medical info and shouldn’t decide either person gets the job or not.

[@stevenn8449]

As a physician, I applaud someone with an audience saying this. I have been flabbergasted at the spin and misinformation that has been associated with the coverage of this pandemic, on both sides of the news media (right and left). As a sidenote, though, 99.9% of physicians will NOT lie to you in order to get you to comply with treatment. If what your doctor says could happen without appropriate treatment sounds scary, it's because it is scary. My wife is currently pregnant and it is scary because so many things can go wrong. They usually don't, but they can. They aren't lies. In fact, if you suspect your physician is not being honest with you, ask for an information handout containing the information. They usually have them on hand or can get it to you pretty easily. Just a helpful tip.

[@davidgraham8058]

The last five weeks from Maher has me convinced: This is the longest dissolving red pill ever.

[@godozo]

Done properly, this is how red pills work. Truths need to be accepted, not enradished up certain orifices. And THAT takes time.

[@apnwu369]

It still seems like an act to me, no one can be as dumb as Maher when your job is to study politics full time unless you are a paid propagandist. He probably sees the tide is turning so he is trying to get ahead of the Covid and Wokeism backlash to make more money for himself.

My daughter started losing weight about 18 months ago. We thought it was because she and her brother had moved out and gotten a place together. He cooks, and he likes to eat paleo. So basically, he'd make a giant paleo meal with enough leftovers for her to take to work for lunch, and that meant she wasn't eating fast food anymore. Then she started to get fatigued. She just didn't feel right. But by then, she was too scared to go to the doctor, because she didn't want to catch COVID. We bugged her and bugged her, but she just kept putting it off. "When COVID is over," she said. We told her that I, my husband and her other brother had already had it and it wasn't that big a deal (my husband and I were couch-bound for 4 and 5 days respectively, and my younger son got a rash on his toes), but she still balked all summer long. Then the "second wave" hit, and she was like, "but we're back to no elective procedures, mom." Then in late November, she got COVID (probably from riding public transit to and from work). It was like a severe cold that lasted for 10 days. Her brother caught it from her, but had no symptoms. He quarantined with her for 14 days. After they got the go ahead to reenter public life, we arranged an illegal Christmas dinner at my parents' place. My parents are elderly, but all five of us have had COVID, and my mom offered to pay the $1500/person fines if we got busted. While we were all together, my older son said, "she just drinks water constantly. Like ALL the time. For MONTHS." And that was when I basically held her down and made her go to the doctor. They did some tests, and the next day the doctor calls her and tells her to go straight to emergency. To diagnose diabetes, you need a blood sugar higher than 11.1mmol/dL. Hers was over 29. She was actually on the verge of hyperglycemic coma. After a couple weeks more of tests and assessments (and metformin and insulin), we had a diagnosis. Adult onset Type 1 diabetes. An autoimmune condition that COULD have been mitigated or even reversed by immunosuppressant drugs. Your immune system decides your insulin producing cells are a foreign invader, and it kills them. By the time we caught it, those cells were all dead. So my daughter almost died not because of COVID, but because of the fear of COVID. And she is on insulin for life because she was too scared to go to the doctor way back in March of last year and onward. And even though she had completely out of control diabetes when she did get COVID at age 25, she recovered with chicken soup and OTC meds. All I can say is the media's panic porn has a lot to answer for.

[@SvensktTroll]

You should check out natural remedies and get her to stop with gluten because it creates inflammation in the body and throws everything out of whack. sourdough is somehow okay because bacteria is good for the body?
