The reading asserts that since broccoli can only be produced in California, it is coasty to transport this vegetable all way to the East Coast. It adds that a new kind of broccoli should be made and provides three reasons to support this idea; Nevertheless, the lecturer disagrees with this argument and refutes each of the points made in the reading.
To begin with, the author mentions that bringing broccoli from West Coast to East is expensive due to the remote distance. The professor, challenges this specific claim. He believes that cultivating a new type of broccoli is neither successful nor beneficial. Moreover, he adds that growing this vegetable localy cannot save money for farmers. This is owing to the fact that the weather in East Coast is not favorable for broccoli and the total production will be low in this part of the the country. As a result, farmers will have to sell their vegetable for higher prices to compensate the low yiled and this in turn will cancel the savings on transportation.
Secondly, the passage states that scientists will use old methods to generate new broccoli, which are acceptable among costumers, rather than genetic modification. The lecturer, however, claims that supporter companies of this idea are the same as the ones which did genetic changes on the other plants like corn. He, furthermore, explains that people will not trust the new broccoli because they already do not have fate on genetical companies which are going to make new broccoli.
Finally, according to the text, new broccoli will be on market right after being harvested, which helps it to maintain its vitamins. The professor opposes this idea, explaining that there are many native vegetables to East Coast that have more healthy materials than broccoli, and those should be considered as a good food source. For example, there is a specific leafy vegetable, possible to cultivate in three seasons, including summer, fall and winter, that can be a better option than broccoli. Therefore, he suggests that government should educate people to include fresh, indigenous vegetable in their daily diet instead of imported products from other cities.
