What does health, or being healthy, mean to you?

I don’t care about being healthy. I care about being beautiful. It just turns out they are, in almost every instance, the same thing. If I could become more attractive by eating pizza, smoking cigarettes, and sinking down into the center of my couch, I’d do it. It just turns out that aspiring toward health is the way to accomplish this. We value beauty because beauty is a signifier of a creature full of life.
