If people didn't mess around with nature, most of today's human population wouldn't exist.
Imagine this...no imported or improved crops or livestock. No mass cultivation, as it destroys the natural ecosystem.
No vaccinations or medications for the sick.
People would be confined to the regions of the earth temperate enough to live in without changing the environment (ie, ripping down forests or diverting water to arid regions, etc)
Natural resources would be sufficient to support a small fraction of today's population.
Like or not, we all exist because the human race is selfish. Our highly developed self-awareness has put us in a position where we value our own species above all else.
Sad to think of, but that is the state of things. Toss those apples at your girlfriend and see what she says.
best of luck
