The reading and the lecture are both about broccolis, which is mainly grown in California because of the weather conditions. The author of the reading feels that growing broccoli on the east coast would be beneficial for both financially and nutrient-wise. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article.
First of all, the author claims that growing broccoli in the east coast would lower the transportation cost. It is pointed out that because of the low transportation cost, the retail cost will also be lower. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. She says that despite the lower transportation cost, retail prices will still be the same. The reason why the retail price will still be high is that yield will be lower than in California. She asserts that this would cancel out the transportation cost.
Secondly, the author states that the new type of broccoli would be more preferable than some other new crops. He argues that other crops are genetically modified, and he says the new broccoli will not be in that classification. This argument is rebutted in the lecture. Lecturer observes that the public will be suspicious about the new crop and would still reject them. She notes that the same companies that use genetic modifications are the ones who are growing these new crops.
Finally, the author mentions that vegetable's nutrients are in the best condition to eat when they are freshly harvested. It is noted that locally grown broccolis can be eaten much sooner after it has been harvested. The lecturer casts doubt on this by saying that there are other vegetables such as kale, have the same nutrients, and kales can grow in any weather She puts forth the idea that people should learn about other vegetables.
