Not only that, it is likely that using seeds from the store fruit/veg wont even produce the same thing you bought. Look to your public library. Some of them (at least in smaller towns) have a seed library where you can check out seeds that come from other local people.
You "check out" some seeds, plant and grow, then at the end of the session you let one or more of your plants go to seed and take them back to be added back into the library.
This leads to varieties that are more suited for the area you are in as they will adapt to the local soil/temp/etc conditions over time.

The majority of fruits and vegetables at the grocery stores are GMO. Meaning, should you be caught growing them, you are in violation of copyright.
Order "heritage" seeds from a reputable supplier. If you want non-gmo food.

That is another good point I have never really thought about.
