Move to Italy. I grew up here, lived abroad for ~13 years, 9 of which in San Francisco (before: Luxembourg and Singapore), working for AWS and other tech firms. I can assure you that the quality of produce I can find in Italy cannot be beaten. Comparable in some parts of the Mediterranean. Whole Foods? Give me a break, not even close.
I'm not too serious (I know it's not easy to "move to Italy", just like that), but I find it really interesting that the US is so rich, and yet the quality of food is so poor.
The tomatoes are a great example. Visit Italy, buy some tomatoes, eat them raw. You will not believe your senses.

In the town I grew up in there was an Italian family that owned a restaurant and would get most of their ingredients from Italy. My friends mom made everything from scratch. No highly processed foods. My friend her son was built like a tank. We used to arm wrestle all the time if for no other reason than his insane strength and my laughably futile attempts to win. I should add that since then I have not once in my life enjoyed a calzone like his mom made. It was worth the 45+ minute wait.
