What You Eat, Eats Plants

Dr. Parvadha (Parvi) Acosta, ECC's Associate Project of Biology/STEM division chair, discusses the changes in food over time and some of its positive and negative impacts on our health.

Parvi isn't a medical doctor, and looks at the intake and development of food over time from a biological point of view.

DYK - Broccoli isn't found in nature, as it was developed through centuries of selective breeding.
