Broccoli is a vegetable that is popular throughout the United States, but it can be grown only in temperate climates with mild summers. Because of this limitation, 90 percent of the broccoli consumed in the United States is grown in the cooler regions of California, on the West Coast. It must be shipped 4:000 kilometers across the entire country to reach the populous East Coast
This situation may soon change, however: scientists are attempting to create a new type of broccoli that can be grown on the East Coast despite the hotter summers there. This project has several potential benefits.
First, growing broccoli on the East Coast and distributing it to nearby grocery stores would lower broccoli costs for consumers Transporting the vegetable from California by truck takes several days, which makes transportation costs high. Growing broccoli locally would reduce transportation costs, so stores could sell broccoli for less money.
Second; the new type of broccoli will probably be much more desirable to consumers than some other new crops. The new broccoli is being created using traditional breeding techniques: researchers are crossbreeding broccoli with other similar plants that have desirable characteristics, such as resistance to hot summers Other new crops—varieties of squash or maize, for example—were created using genetic modification technology. Genetically modified crops are very controversial: many consumers believe they are unsafe and so reject them. However, the new broccoli will not be in that category.
Third, vegetables are healthiest to eat right after they are harvested because they retain most of their beneficial nutrients and vitamins. The Ion ger it takes for a vegetable like broccoli to reach consumers, the fewer nutrients and vitamins it contains. Broccoli that is grown locally can be eaten much sooner after it is cut, which will make this new broccoli healthier for East Coast residents than California broccoli
In the passage, the author concentrates on several arguments to prove that cultivating Broccoli on the East Coast is more beneficial, accordingly, it mentions three reasons to support this idea. However, the lecturer cast doubt on these arguments and respectively points out the problems with all author's assertions. She mentions that planting Broccoli may not be successful on the East coast like in California.
First of all, the passage argues the point that distributing local Broccoli presents a lower cost in comparison to transporting one from California by track. Because it eliminates transportation costs from the final price and people can buy cheaper Broccoli. The lecturer, however, highlighted the fact that Broccoli cultivation on the east coast accompanies by lower production. She states that the harvested quantity per one hectare on the east coast is lower than on the west coast. She concluded that this idea does not decrease the price on the east cost.
Moreover, the passage contends that a new type of Broccoli will be more favorable for consumers than others. Because researchers use traditional breeding methods and also utilize crossbreeding with other similar plants to make a new vegetable with desirable features. The lecturer brings up the fact that it does not matter whether they say this manipulated plant is the best or not. People, based on their experience with other products from other companies, have a bad impression of these kinds of products. As a result, they do not trust the genetically modified product and maybe they reject the new Broccoli due to this matter.
Finally, the passage indicates that fresh Broccoli keeps not only has beneficial characteristics such as nutrients and vitamins, it has the healthiest quality for eating as well. The lecturer accepted that fresh vegetables are more useful, however, she refutes the author's opinion and raises a point that other vegetables have the same vitamins and nutrients, In addition, they grow up properly in that region even in different seasons, like Kale. Kale is pretty popular among people and even is better than broccoli.
