I swear I’m gonna go back to a village in the Med, where everything is grown locally by small farmers and sold by the farmers at market. Super market tomatoes are just sacks of unflavoured water so I have no doubt the first paragraph is true.
Feeling cute, might post tomato source later.

Produce is often unripe and has been bred for shelf life as we don't just eat what's in season anymore.
I'd say people had worse health problems by their forties back in the day anyway. Environmental pollution, lack of nutritional knowledge, lack of vaccinations, food quality was very hit-or-miss, it all contributed to health problems as you aged.
