I love this song so much. It's like someone took what was so bad about the eighties, and made it good, musically.
And as to the meaning, that quote is exactly what I thought, but not so straight forward or literal. I was thinking it was just a reflection on the modern view of body image and health. It's a testament that the perfect, healthy lifestyle just isn't healthy for the mind. This is an idea I have always been adamant about. I love the lilting, dreamy tone of this song, as if everyone singing it is in a trance. Then the chanting of "Stop Drop and Roll." It's as if everyone is repeating it as a prayer to safety, and that the cry of "Stop!" is either a break from the mold of perfection, or a frenzied zealot of this "Planet Health" cult.
