Comedian and podcast host Bill Maher tore into body positivity culture during his latest episode of “Club Random” with The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan.
Corgan was telling Maher a story of when he took his young son to a train museum and there was a “morbidly obese gentleman” on the train. Corgan said his young son then loudly asked, “why is he so fat?” And the man responded, “cause I like to eat, kid.”
That’s when Maher tore into the body positivity culture and obesity.
