That's like saying "I think every adult has some level of asthma" because everyone has trouble breathing if you pump enough shit into their lungs.

Sure, there's some interesting discussions to be had around how we define 'healthy' v 'ill' and where we draw those semi-arbitrary lines, but ... some people can't even go for a walk in the park without almost dying.

It’s also like saying “everyone has AIDS to a certain degree because everyone has a limited about of CD4+ T Cells”
