Good point.. think it applies to meat, too.I only did high school biology but it makes perfect sense to me.
Size does not automatically mean quality. I have also heard people complain about today's fruit and vegetables having no taste compared to fresh produce decades ago.
People are way better designed than we realise. Also, if we often eat until we gain the nutrients we need, it is easy to imagine some eating way more fruit and vegetables until the body feels satisfied.
I bought the grocer's *green* line of beef, for whatever reason, and I was stunned at how much better it was than the regular, lean beef. I hadn't consciously noticed how bland it had become, but I certainly didn't get excited about it (cheeseburgers.. sigh) as I had, years ago. It's worth the couple extra dollars, but it's a damned shame what's happened to our food.
