It's true - nature does not always provide ideal conditions.
Part of me feels though that there is an aspect of hubris to our thinking that we absolutely know what's best for them.
What if there is some odd nutrient in a worm or slug they do need?
As humans, it seems, we often feel that the latest piece of knowledge is the end-all. Then some other piece comes along.
I'd be very careful, not to assume that we can surpass nature with the information we have right now.
