When we're talking about bad eating habits and bad workout habits, we're not talking about aesthetic standards, but rather medical ones. If habits will likely cost you several years or even decades of your life, I think they can safely be considered bad.
Ofcourse, these health standards aren't followed by the typical anorexic fashion model either.
