You take the good with the bad, is I guess all I'm saying.

But why? How about intelligently assessing the situation and doing away with The Bad?
By invoking the naturalist fallacy ("as nature intended"), I read the original comment on this thread as suggesting we throw the good away with the bad. My point is: that would be a bad trade. The pre-modern food supply was far more dangerous than the one we have now.
That's not the naturalist[ic] fallacy, but an appeal to nature. But you're right.
