Do you eat Brassica oleracea? You probably do, even though you didn't realize it. Uncultivated, it's known as wild cabbage. But over several thousand years of selective farming, we've turned it into a large part of the produce section of your grocery store. The graphic above doesn't quite do justice to the many different foods that have been developed from this one plant. All those vegetables are the same plant species. -via TYWKIWDBI

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any veggies again? What about cabbage? Bart: Nope. Homer: Brussels sprouts? Bart: Nope. Bart: Kale? Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same plant. Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical plant.
