People are pretty awful

We've all learned recently that the food industry is behind a lot of the awful things currently going on in our world today. Obesity and diabetes are fueled by fast food and are more common in poverty stricken areas. Kids are dying from acid resistant bacteria. Food companies are polluting our skies, oceans, land, and wildlife. They lie about whats in their products and pay off legislators so that they can continue to lie. We all know this now, but as enlightened as we are, this isn't totally true. Companies are not responsible for all of this, they're just companies. Inanimate, non-sentient, unable to make decisions for themselves. What's truly to blame are the people running those companies. Abhorrent piles of sludge that somehow fool others into thinking they're people. These are people that care more about adding to their already unspendable pile of money than they do about the life of a human being, or the well being of a population, or the ever decreasing lifespan of our planet. How could we ever fix the problems that plague our society when there will always be people like this that exist? People like that will never acknowledge their misdeeds and will continue to act that way until the day they finally die and head back down to where they came from. We'd have to somehow change the way our society thinks. Thankfully, we're already in the process of doing that. Our generation is more forgiving, helpful, and selfless than those before it. We're doing a wonderful job, but it's not quite enough. We need to raise the generation after ours to be even more selfless than us. Eventually, the majority of people will care about the majority more than themselves. Only then will companies truly have our best interest at heart.
