What Do You Think?

Health magazine ran an interview with Brooke Shields in which they applauded her "mission to empower girls." Here's something she said that made me question Health's verb choice:

Q: What’s your biggest health regret?
A: Not learning to love the way I looked earlier. And I think I would have had sex a lot earlier! [Laughs.] I think I would have lost my virginity earlier than I did at 22. I had the public and all this pressure, and I wish I had just gotten it over with in the beginning when it was sort of OK. I think I would have been much more in touch with myself. I think I wouldn’t have had issues with weight—I carried this protective 20 pounds [in college]. It was all connected. And to me, that’s a health regret.

As the mother of a teen girl, I have questions about her mission.
