Answer 1

We chose our favorites and grew them again and again from their seeds. The ones we didn’t like weren’t favored and thus had less opportunities to flourish.

Fruits and veggies didn’t adapt to how we like them, we selectively bred them to be the way they are. The ones that didn’t have the qualities we like didn’t have their seeds planted.
