Description
Paintings of fruit became popular in Medieval times because this was a way for the wealthy to flaunt their affluence. Bananas were unknown in Europe, but even citrus fruits were quite exotic until the advent of refrigeration in the late 19th and early 20th century, making a variety of healthy fruits and vegetables accessible and affordable. Recently, however, fresh produce and healthy foods have become so expensive to ship, that they are not accessible to poor families, resulting in bad nutrition and an increase in childhood obesity.
