Broccoli was chosen to rise above the other vegetables.

Broccoli was *chosen* to rise above the other vegetables.
I said humble sweet potato not it's distant cousin the lowly potato. Sweet potatoes didn't need to be evolved as much because they are already a perfect vegetable.
Broccoli on the other hand is no more than a freak flower of a cabbage.

Technically broccoli is man made. It doesn't occur in nature and can trace it's lineage to wild cabbage.
Meanwhile the humble sweet potato is naturally occuring and didn't have to bred from another plant to be created.
