Some common fruits, then and now

1. Watermelon from the 17th century vs today 🍉
2. Banana before/after selective breeding 🍌
3. Wild eggplant vs supermarket eggplant 🍆
4. Wild carrots vs supermarket carrots 🥕
5. Finally... Many fruits and veggies we eat today never actually existed in nature in the first place

See the "Trilemma of the Earth" (or 3E Trilemma) used by scientists working on environmental protection

Do you want to develop the economy, save energy, and protect the environment? Yeah too bad you can only pick 2
