Man or Artichoke?

I was always amused by the question which came first the chicken or the egg. I don't think it matters. The question of man or artichoke is much more thought evoking. I was raised a Catholic. I attended 12 years of Parochial schools. I like many have strayed from the Church but I still spell it with a capital C.
I have given this serious thought and I have come to some conclusions. I cannot beleive that the same entity could have created fruits and vegetables and also mankind. Fruits and vegetables are wonderful, beautiful and delicious. They propogate themselves without the slighest sense of quilt or shame. They produce offspring who perfectly imitate their parents. Man is the complete opposite. Guilt ridden and full of shame from original sin. So which came first? If it was man  then who ever created man was so dissappointed with his first flawed attempt it created perfect fruits and vegetables to make up for the failure. If fruits and vegetables were created first then there was no need for man. An earth covered with just fruits and vegetables would surely be a wondrous place. I know weeds sometime crowd out other plants but even weeds produce nice flowers. This question of man or artichoke really is no question at all. The belief that everything on earth came from the place is incongruous.
