The fact that vertical farms popularized the concept of "leafy greens" should raise an eyebrow alone because that is an oddly specific type of plant that excludes almost every vegetable that I eat.

Leafy greens have been part of human diets for forever. If they weren't popular in your part of the world, vertical farming should receive thanks for having made them so.

Eating raw leafy greens is a hyper modern addition to human diets. If you want a $20 kale salad, go for it, but let’s not pretend eating uncooked nutritionally devoid foods is somehow necessary or historical.

What is your definition of hyper modern?

Greeks and Romans ate pretty literal salads, and I'm pretty sure people historically knew what natural plants were edible and ate them some of the time.
