Has it ever occurred to you that you have a ton of control over your general health and can protect yourself from physical injury extremely well?

Has it ever occurred to you that many people in the United State don't have legs?

I am in my early twenties. I exercise regularly, I don't drink to excess, I don't smoke, I eat well, and I don't do any dangerous activities. That means I probably won't break my leg or die of obesity-related conditions.

However, it damn well could be that I could get a disease or condition that no one can prevent. No one has any business pretending otherwise.
