So would engineering ourselves to be more defensive of these toxins be
a quicker 'win'? Sure the songbird babies are still getting messed up
but we wouldn't be, which would either increase the population's
health overall leading to easier ability to read/learn (to not toxify
the environment)... or it would cause the resistant population to care
even less about the environment because it doesn't affect them.

If the latter case, then would the answer be to make us MORE
SUSCEPTIBLE to said toxins, to induce a NEED to keep the environment
toxin free?
