Modern food is hardly unadulterated.
Have you heard about the sexually inviable hybrid that is manually cloned, with zero genetic diversity around the globe? It's called the banana.
Or, how the ancestor to the Fuji apple was tiny, sour, and tough until we selectively bred them to be large and full of sugar?
How about chickens that were bred to be so heavy they can't stand up? Supermarket chickens used to be a lot more like cornish hens.
