When hiking or going through a park you don’t see wild vegetables such as head of lettuce or zucchini? Or potatoes?
Also never hear of survival situations where they find potatoes or veggies that they lived on? (I know you have to eat a lot of vegetables to get some actual nutrients but it has got to be better then nothing)
Edit: thank you for the replies, I’m not an outdoors person, if you couldn’t tell lol. I was viewing the domesticated veggies but now it makes sense. And now I’m afraid of carrots.

In a farm where they grow vegetables, farmers would be doing everything to protect those crops from pests and vermin. Think of all the ways they repel animals from eating their crops, like putting netting and tarps around to stop birds, or spraying chemical agents to deter rodents, or straight up killing pests.
If those same vegetables somehow managed to spread into the wild, lets say you accident drop packs of zucchini or carrot seeds in the forest, they don’t have those same protection. Like there’s no way a zucchini would be able to grow to harvestable size out in the wild without being picked apart by birds and insects long before that.
