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.

Because vegetables like that don’t grow wild, they’re cultivated. Many are harvested, and only really edible, when they are immature plants.
Lettuce bolts, that is, goes to seed, and if left wild won’t really resemble lettuce.
Also, if you’re in the wild, those vegetables would have to have been planted by someone. Additionally, a lot of the vegetables we like may be able to be grown and cultivated on a farm or in a garden, but wouldn’t be able to reproduce in the wild.
