You are being subliminally programmed everyday. For example, if you live in the USA, and watch American television, you will see that the majority of television shows feature attractive individuals. In terms of attractiveness, lets say I mean that they look something like Jessica Alba or Angelina Jolie. When women like these are featured, people believe that this is how every female should look.
Another more obvious example would be the Axe effect. When axe first came out, I remember it was in middle school for me. I think it came out during the superbowl, I could be wrong but that part isn't relevant. The relevant point is that once the commercials started airing, we saw a man being tackled and stopped dead on the street because of how he smelt. What happened at the end of the commercial? Axe. Axe has programmed us to believe if we buy their product, we will get sex just like how the people in the commercials are. This is obviously relevant, the next day I went into school, everyone was like "dude did you see that axe commercial? yea? is it good? yea?"
Seriously, what do you think is beautiful in terms of a lady? 36-24-36? I'm not one to tell you what's beautiful, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's just the effect that society has been able to program into our minds that show us that these types of women are the ones you should be going for.
So to answer your question in my words, I say subliminals are a healthy way to change. Subliminal messages are something that you get on a daily basis from everywhere around you. With the programs here, you have the right to choose what messages you get as they almost will always overcome any preexisting programming that society has given you, given that you accept the new beliefs.
Just my 2 cents
