Self confidence plays into health and the media and culture is therefore effecting our health. Healthy is dictated by the BMI chart. Exercise and eating healthy but we still have to eat.

Ashley, thanks for commenting. However, I want to clarify. I don't think the B.M.I. chart dictates. I think it is, more or less, a guide we can use to keep our weight in a healthy range.

As a guy I really wasn't aware that so many females took these adds so
seriously. When I look at a female that is really skinny nothing in my mind says she is healthy, if anything I want to give her some food! This whole thing is really sad, I'm glad to see a campaign dedicated to this.

To me, "being healthy" means living to my fullest potential, in mind, body, and spirit. If I get sufficient exercise, I always feel better about myself and I feel like I am living up to my potential. When I feel this way, my mind and spirit are in tune with this attitude. Also, when my mind and spirit are healthy, I feel better overall and am able to use my body better. Being healthy also involves eating foods that help my body, not hurt it, and engaging in practices that are not detrimental to my physical or mental health.

We can't let media define healthy. I like the page of redefining it. I like Webster's def. What Lloyd said makes a lot of sense too. Media destroys mind and spirit if it breaks one's confidence, so media is helping destroy health in more ways than one.
