As I said earlier - I hold that man is not inherently bad or good. We are 
just another animal, substantially more intelligent that others.

One of the reasons we are even on this list is that we are trying to go back 
to a more natural way of eating since we as humans are slowly ruining our 
food supplies (GMO, pesticides, additives, antibiotics, hormones, etc., 
etc.) and our environment. It is difficult to have positive thoughts about 
our own species - I am speaking about the collective - the species, not the 
individual.
