Very true.  And fruits have been bred to be sweeter, and vegetables juicier,
milder and more tender.  If we really ate the wild fruits and greens, I think
we'd get plenty of vitamins.  Actually, many of the weeds you pull out of your
garden are excellent food.  I plan to use more of them this summer.  Pigweed,
lambs quarters, nettle, purslane (a source of Omega-3 oils), burdock, and many
others.
