Same goes for apples, peppers etc etc. Nutritional value of these foods has gone down with soil nutrient depletion and the sugar content has gone up.

it is so frustrating that even the natural foods: meats, poultry, veggies are contaminated with growth hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides, etc. It is kindof like an "asymptote" in math: we can try and try to approach 'healthy', but will never quite get there! http://www.freemathhelp.com/asymptotes.html
