Romanesco Broccoli

fractal broccolifractal broccolifractal broccoli
Romanesco broccoli, or Roman cauliflower, is an edible flower of the species Brassica oleracea, and a variant form of cauliflower. The broccoli's shape approximates a natural fractal; each bud is composed of a series of smaller buds, all arranged in yet another Logarithmic Spiral. This self-similar pattern continues at several smaller levels.

The spiral shapes of the florets describe a Fibonacci Mathematical Series, one in which each number is the sum of two previous numbers. For example: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on. This series was discovered by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci (1170-1240) and many natural patterns can be described using it.

According to Stanford Medical, It is indeed the ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh on average 42 pounds less than us.

(By the way, it has NOTHING to do with genetics or some hard exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING to related to "how" they eat.)

P.S, I said "HOW", not "WHAT"...
