I get what ur saying but no, the planet did not grow food. Before humans started breeding plants, the fruit from plants were barely of any nutritonal value. The berries shown here would have been a fraction of their size, much fewer per plant and would have tasted like shit.
Humanity could probably manage to live the pure vegan lifestyle today but we would still need machines, electricity, huge farms, etc to get enough supply.
I think wild berries like woodland strawberries and wild mushrooms are quite the same as before agriculture, but we were much less and moving much more to gather food.
Yeah its actually really fun, trying old variants of things we are used to as well. Like much older breeds of bananas for example.
The usual supermarket vegetables and fruit are bred for cost effectiveness so much, that they barely resemble their predecessors in size or taste and sometimes the old ones are actually way better.
