Account Deleted By User I've been watching Bill Nye's new series on Netflix, mostly out of morbid curiosity. I've recently come to sort of loathe the guy—he was a big part of my childhood, and his show made science fun for me and many other kids, and I think it's one of the reasons I work in science now—because he's recently taken this stance of "Universal Expert on Everything." My respect really started to dip at the Ken Ham creationism debate because I think it was stupid to even grant credence to an insane creationist's claims by "debating" him. But, now, with this new show, I've had so many problems that I end up flipping off my laptop screen out of sheer anguish. I finally lost it and have decided to stop watching at the eighth episode: the one about dieting. As soon as they get to the panel, two of the panelists (a hammy comedienne and a fat sympathizing psychology professor) take a pretty strong stance towards "fat is genetic" and the only reasonable one is Jen Widerstrom from Biggest Loser, but she's outnumbered. It's so frustrating, because this show is intended to teach people something and it's going to have a very large audience. They're misusing their responsibility by spewing this misinformation in the face of perhaps the largest public health crises the world has ever faced, and actively taking a stance towards supporting snowflake syndrome rather than getting to the root cause of obesity: you eat too fucking much, fatass. tl;dr: fuck Bill Nye
