As I've already stated, electrical problems can be helped by living a healthy lifestyle, according to the Mayo Clinic. If everyone did, this would be a very rare problem. A blow to the chest is also very rare. Most heart attacks are the result of coronary artery disease and a healthy lifestyle would make it an extremely rare event.
AEDs provide a false sense of security, in my opinion. You can't have AEDs with you wherever you go, whereas good health follows you everywhere.

Having good health is really not a guarantee one will live longer than anyone else. Life is a crapshoot, we live surrounded by dangers. While you may feel food and more importantly, specific foods are the primary and maybe only way??? to good health, many are of the opinion that it isn't the only way.
AED's are for a specific use....and may help....or they may not. Personally I can't imagine people feeling that having an AED gives them license to throw caution to the wind....apparently, you seem to think they might.
