We're all addicted to a million things (by this definition of addiction)

It's only negative when that becomes a problem somehow in your life.

It's not even clear to me that we'd be better off with a fully mindful approach to every pleasure and activity.

What is unhealthy though, is disparaging everything other people enjoy. Especially when you don't have the courage to say "I don't like it" but couch your disapproval in terms of concern for their "addictions"

I think you're always overgeneralizing everything...
