Thank you for your support. I have been thinking about these ideas for a long time now and I wanted to a forum of like minded persons to share it with.

I wanted to add that the concern about "health" itself is very often a misrepresentation. No one knows about someone's health by simply looking at them. Otherwise studying for nearly a decade for medical degrees would be redundant.

Maybe it's time to admit that when you're saying you're concerned about someone's "health" you're more likely just making an aesthetic evaluation--that someone doesn't look the way you would like them to look. The need to tell people about how they look is more about you than them. I am certainly guilty of this and hope to remain self-aware and circumspect.
