Certainly, expressing oneself in a healthy manner could be considered, by many standards, a good thing. However I have specifically avoided saying that doing a healthy thing is inherently good or bad either, because it depends on what you consider a "good" outcome. In reality, there are some situations where being healthy in one way can have negative repercussions in others. So from my perspective, it is better to evaluate any given action based on the consequences of that action for any given scenario, than to presume any inherent goodness or badness of the action itself.

However, you lost me at "Again, the key word here being “healthy” not good or bad." When did being healthy (a state of being that promotes life) become not good? I respect your objective approach to the subject.
