30 Bananas a Day!

What 9,000 years of selective breeding has done to crops

Article here: http://www.vox.com/2014/10/15/6982053/selective-breeding-farming-ev...

This topic has always been somewhat concerning to me. Yes, our ape ancestors evolved eating mostly fruit and for much of human evolution we had a lot of plants in our diet. But the plants we ate looked like these old ones, not the fruits of today. I just wonder what that means for our physiology.

Nah, I think it's good.  I really appreciate seedless fruit (like being able to throw half of a seedless watermelon in the blender like I did today for breakfast) & the awesome flavor combinations you can get, like pluots.
