I would rather our model of "beauty" be a healthy individual then an unhealthy individual. Please read my previous post about this matter.
As far as "bad" eating habbits go, yes BAD. I think it is a BAD eating habbit to eat a bag of Doritos in one sitting. I think it is a BAD eating habbit to go through a 2 liter of soda a day. These are all things that the "average" American does and they are indeed BAD. If nothing else, the rising numbers of type 2 diabetics and heart disease patients confirms that it is a bad trend of eating. Anyone who truly cares about themselves would take better care of themselves then do any of the above mentioned things.
