Social Media and Body Image: Toxic or Inspirational?

Social media's impact on society has been tremendous since its start, and studies show no sign of it slowing down. In fact, the use of social media is increasing rapidly. Everyday new ideas and new campaigns are implemented through the use of social media and all its endeavors. The problem, however, is social media's influence on peoples' body image. Many studies have discovered social media being a key factor in eating disorders. Even the health-kick accounts on instagram, facebook, snapchat, etc. who claim to promote "clean eating" and exercise are being questioned when it comes to health.

Are "fit-sporational" and other health-happy social media accounts promoting inspiration towards actual health? Or, are these platforms doing more damage than good?
