When I say old, I mean before the dawn of agriculture.

Every since we learned to grow crops, we have taken the seeds from the biggest and sweetest fruit to grow future harvests.

Then we have taken the seeds from the biggest and best tasting of that generation to grow the next generation. And on and on for generation after generation after generation after generation.

Even the varieties of our youth that are no longer around bear little resemblance to the original.

Humankind didn't know we were making them less healthy, we just wanted them to bear more and better tasting fruit.

The fruit of today bears about as much resemblance to it's wild variety as a Model T does to a modern Ferrari.
