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.

I agree with you 100%. The problem is our methods of MEASURING health have come to include a number of visual cues that, by themselves, do not necessarily indicate an unhealthy state. I know lots of women who are "healthy" according to blood tests and other "image-agnostic" measurements, but who still suffer the stigmatization of a society that has lost the capacity to see healthiness in all its possible physical forms.
