“Broccoli plants, I read somewhere that it is better for people to eat what is grown in their area from their particular climate and soils for maximum health benefits. Do you know anything about this? “Yes, we know that humans eating locally, say within ten or twenty or a hundred kilometres away, produced from within that area has put up with the same climatic effects that you are likely to experience too and has grown strong in such a climate. Eating this gives those properties, such as making you strong in that particular climate. Do you see?” Yes, I think so, thank you. The broccoli went on: “Like eating something that gives you a built-in resistance to the negative effects of such a climate, such as lots of wind or very hot temperatures. You then inherit this built-in resistance, by consuming a food plant that experiences the climate which you live with in your region.”
