It is indeed best to get your nutrition from whole foods whenever possible. For instance, today Oz was talking about hemp seed, which has more of the necessary fatty acids than almost anything else available. It can be found in lots of processed foods now, but you're still better off buying actual hemp seeds and eating them straight or adding them to other foods yourself. That way you can be sure of what you're getting.
I make a point of growing as much food as I can, too. Of course I no longer live in a big city, where it could be next to impossible - but there they have better farmer's markets, too.
