Is adding omega3 the same as adding gold tofood,justadded value?

I think that companies now are creating fake needs for people so that they buy their products. They say that you need omega 3, DHA, more vitamins, more proteins, etc! People from past decades didnt eat enhanced foods and still lead great lives!
would you say that all that is just added value so that they are able to charge more for food? When you add gold, you are not changing the flavor or the texture unless you add a lot that is! jaja would you say that they only want to make food more exclusive? is it all in the end just added value?
