There once was food- And it was clean Born from the soil Between the rain... and the sun It knew no label It knew no brand It passed from the earth To the hand And man looked upon the harvest and said: "It is enough." But the world grew crowded- And man hungered... for more So he looked upon the harvest and said: "Let it grow greater." And the rivers fed the fields He looked upon the fruit and said: "Let it travel farther." And the apple crossed the ocean He looked upon the bread and said: "Let it last longer." And the bread outlived the baker We fed the world We filled the store Yet man looked upon the harvest And whispered: "More" Then man looked upon the jam and said: "Let it shine brighter." And the jam hid its age He looked upon the water and said: “Let it please the tongue.” And the water learned to be desired. He looked upon the harvest and said: "Let it fear decay." And the harvest forgot its seasons We fed the world We filled the store Yet man looked upon the harvest And whispered: "More..." Let it travel farther Let it last longer Let it taste better Let it shine brighter Let it fear decay Let it be sold Shelf life increased. Yield optimized. Distribution expanded. We changed food to feed the world Then taught the market how to hunger We asked for abundance... Now abundance fills the bins... The crops grew larger The harvest came sooner The food traveled farther The shelf life grew longer The colors shone brighter And once again man looked upon the harvest... And said... MORE We fed the world! We filled the store! We fed the world! We fed the world! We filled the store! We fed the world! More! Let it travel farther! Let it last longer! Let it taste better! More!
