1. family - your parents are usually the first to tell you not to do drugs, even if they're actively doing them or they tried them, they tend to want something better for you, something more healthy, like a body that isn't weighed down by bad choices in drugs, friends and influences.
2. your body - by its reactions to what you're doing, the breath stinks and the teeth start to breakdown if you're forcing yourself to vomit in mid digestion. If you don't properly clean a wound and it gets infected usually puss or something abnormal will appear and pain will be attached, that's not helathy.
3. society - there are lots of things society looks down on and one of them is overreating. I watched the show Heavy and let me tell you, that kind of lifestyle is unhealthy.
4. science - science helps us understand our bodies and therefore also helps us take advantage of hand sanitizer and other things that will lower the chances for us to catch sicknesses.
So, anything that you chose that your family doesnt agree with is not healthy. Garlic, vegetables, and onions are not healthy because they give you bad breath. Anything that society doesnt agree with is not healthy.
The only thing I agree with is your science answer.

May I remind you in soviet russia religions such as Christianity was also looked down on by society.
Since when does society decide what is healthy and what isnt? thats like society deciding wether Gravity is effective or not.
All of the answers are plausible. They're not based on whether you agree. Understand that people decide if they're going to accept society, science, family, and personal reasons for things being unhealthy. My friend's aunt was told time and again that her eating habits were unhelathy, she decided that she wouldn't believe them, she was diagnosed with type II diabetes, again the doctor her family, science and society agrees that type II diabetes is an easy passport to the grave if you don't take care of yourself. Her feet were amputated and later she died, because no matter who told her that the lifestyle she was leading was unhealhty she chose for herself what she was going to do. People usually don't like to show the side that her aunt did, they don't like for people to see them in low health and some people don't care.
My point in bringing up healthy and unhealthy, is that people don't usually want sickness or an unhealthy lifestyle to define them, they want their contributions, their legacy, their good to define them.
