    Metzel and Kirkland in, "Against Health", take a different approach in describing what health is. They chose to describe what health is not. They opened my eyes to all the way that word "health" has been used in television commercials, magazines, to pass moral judgments of character, convey prejudice, and exclude groups from health care.
