Wild foods are more nutrient dense than domesticated plants. Pic related is just the beginning. Domesticated plants have had their medicine bred out of them because it "tastes bad." For example compare nutrient poor modern lettuce vs the bitter and analgesic wild lettuce.
It was only since the agricultural revolution that chronic nutrient deficiency has become the human norm. The diet became greatly reduced in diversity and malformations became common. Neolithic skeletons are shorter, have lower bone density and many dental cavities and mishapped jaws. On top of this, people who ate the nutrient poor foods of the Neolithic revolution began suffering from chronic disease such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease, which were extremely rare in Hunter gatherer cultures. These problems have only gotten worse as modern humans stray farther from our natural lifestyle.
The real fantasy is believing that supplementing a nutrient poor diet with synthetic vitamins that may not be the complete form of the vitamin, may not be suitably bioavailable and may actually cause harm to the body, will be nutritionally complete.
