Clean everything with bleach! Antibacterial soap to wash our hands. Cryogenic freezing of our vegetables. And let's not forget our meat. Let's breed cattle to make good fatty meat, with no regard to how they're raised; crammed together in feed lots where diseases spread like wildfire. We have to make sure they're fed with chemicals that remain in the meat, creating 11 year old girls who have breasts, boys with testicular cancers.
For God's sake, don't talk about poultry! Steroids and copious use of disinfectants and anti-bacterial agents put in their food in such large amounts that one chicken has enough medicines in their body to knock the germs out of 6 adults. MMMM! Sounds delicious.
We're such a smart species. Imagine what a visiting species from another planet would think of our lifestyles.
Just compare it to how we felt about things as kids. "Put a band-aid on it." was the most often used sentence a 50's or 60's mother used. Now, "Let's get you inside and clean that with XYZ disinfectant, put some 3 in one ointment on it and call the doctor. You'd better stay inside and just play your video game for the rest of the day."

I'm not sure about much of anything. However, I am sure that music is the answer to damned near everything.
