A small fruit song - Al Stewart

Back in 1976 we lived on a farm that grew fruit and vegetables. Proper ones, not the rubbish second grade stuff that the supermarkets provide on their shelves. In a day and age where most food is getting bigger and bigger, all the fresh stuff is getting smaller.

The apples in Sainsbury's today were more like marbles... they weren't even English and had more air-miles than calories AND weren't cheap. No wonder everyone is getting FAT. Eating rubbish food is far too easy AND it's cheaper.

How has it got this way?... It wasn't 1976 or 2011 it was somewhere in between... but when? Any ideas?
