    The quality of the food only matters because our bodies can’t handle it. If we could improve our teeth (and other body parts) to be more resilient and adapted to available food resources then it wouldn’t be considered poor quality anymore.

      The foods that damage our teeth the most are things that are really sugary and/or highly acidic. Things like sodas, sweets, alcohols, for a few examples. We already consider stuff like that unhealthy without considering what they do to our teeth. And unless you’re consuming stuff like that excessively, they’re not likely to cause you too many problems as long as you’re practicing good dental hygiene.
