Even a king couldn't get sound nutrition by today's standards throughout most of history, simply because of availability. There just weren't much of any fruit and vegetables in the winter. Even when I was poor I could still get mixed frozen vegetables whenever I wanted (well, 0700-1900 Mo-Sa) for like 3€/kg. Sure, there's food deserts today, but it surely isn't as widespread an issue as it used to be.
