Agriculture has only existed for 10,000 years or so, which is tiny on the scale of human evolution. There are undoubtedly some adaptations that have arisen since then, but genetically we'd be practically identical to humans before then which had millions of years to evolve in an environment where hunting and meat necessarily were the bulk of the diet. (The original versions of plants we eat - evolved for birds and insects - just were not very nourishing before thousands of years of human selection.)
