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.
The passage has expressed some reason that growing broccoli on coast east instead of the west coast will be beneficial, the professor in the lecture thinks otherwise for some reason.
First, the passage asserts that growing broccoli on the coast east will decrease the cost of buying broccoli because it does not transport by trunks anymore, however, as the professor explained in the lecture that work will not be beneficial and will not be caused broccoli to be cheaper. Because of the temperature on the coast east, all broccolis can not be survived. As a result, their costs for consumers will not be lower than in the past.
Second, the passage claimed that by breeding crops (Broccoli) by using traditional technics, the crops will have more desirable features. In contrast, the professor said in the lecture that people might be suspicious after all because some companies that had been using genetic methods support this idea financially. So, that work might lead to rejecting broccolis by people.
Third, the passage expressed that eating vegetables right after harvesting will be more beneficial for getting nutrient but as the professor mentioned, other crops have nutrients like broccoli, and they will grow in the summer, fall, and winter.
