It’s not fully that simple. A lot of food plants were artificially created through selective breeding in the distant past. A lot of the reason the world is even able to sustain the level of agriculture that it currently does is through the desperate application of research and massive effort to keep it going, to make sure everyone gets fed.
I mean it’s not wrong, the same people giving you the credit score aren’t doing a damn thing to keep any of that going and in fact are actively working against the people who do keep it going. But the cushy type of agriculturally supported life we get to enjoy was a product of bigger scale organization and massive day-to-day effort, it wasn’t a casualty of it.
Even lemons aren't real. All my life I've feared life giving me something that is just an artificially bred monstrosity.
Hey, did you know lemons and oranges are basically the same thing, just one has the left-handed version of the flavor molecule and one has the right-handed?
It's not true. They just have totally different compositions of a variety of the same family of chemicals, and lemons have many times over more acid in them which is what makes them sour. But some people think it, and it would be super cool if it was true.
When life gives you lemons, call it Sinister and start an urban myth.
