Are you sure you don't mean 'During my lifetime there has been...'? 'Was' seems just a little past tense for someone refering to thier own lifetime......
I seem to recall a program someone made that used the whole 'trees talk to each other' theme. I believe at one point they took to dropping branches on someone they didn't like.
I'm sure there are plenty of people today who talk to thier plants to make them grow better. I think I've heard of studies that prove that this works. Of course I've heard of studies that 'proved' all sorts of things

Gettng a bit more back on track, given that we probably have the technology, or at least could probably develop it if there was incentive, I'm rather surprised that no group has emerged saying that morally we should only eat food that has been synthesised from the ground up from base components. Think of the food in sci-fi films like 2001 "Oh yummy today were having the orange squares with the green paste, my favourite"
