Broccoli is, along with kale and soy, one of the most toxic things sold as food. You are literally paying to be poisoned when doling out for that $hit. I know whereof I speak, as I fell for the grift hook line and sinker for decades before turning my health around.
I owe broccoli an apology....it is not the worst veggie for most of us...kale and spinach are worse and certainly more disgusting. Even when I consumed that crap by the bushel I picked out the spinach and loaded the kale with gobs of seed oil atherosclerosis - inducing salad dressing.
I am no longer strict carnivore and eat plenty of fresh organic fruit, especially this.time od year,but I refuse to spend one centavo of my hard earned money on green bullsheet henceforth.

Fruits and vegetables overall are a scam. You don't need that stuff. Your ancestors evolved in places where barely any fruits and vegetables grew, none at all in winter, and nobody knew how to farm them yet.
They ate animal organs and got plenty of the vitamins A and C you now think you have to get from vegetables. They drank water from springs, streams and wells and got all the minerals they needed.

It’s true, no one needs vegetables. I get all my nutrition from my 8 boosters! Thanks Pfizer!
I was thinking about this the other day. Broccoli isn’t the only one- bananas (the peels), oranges same thing, apples (the core), grapes (the stems), strawberries (the top green thing), and more. Seems like blueberries are one of the only fruits that are totally consumed :/
If you are really bothered by paying for things like broccoli stems, orange and banana peels, etc. buy raisins. They are grapes without the stems and water too. Similar to pitted prunes, dried apricots and corn meal. You can really go for it by buying orange and apple juice concentrate where all the peels/skins, most of the water, and the seeds/pulp have also been removed.

I have no specific dog in this fight and certainly haven't looked into anything. I am always curious, however, about why people trust certain sources.
Out of curiosity, why do you trust a neurosurgeon (whose training is entirely focused on their subspeciality and superficially, if at all, touches on diet) for your dietary advice.
Further, why would you trust a neurosurgeon who has never published academically in the field of dietary science?
(Unrelated, my kneejerk reaction about carnivore diets is that they force individuals to stop eating huge amounts of processed carbohydrates which are likely awful for us and cause us to feel awful. I suspect brocoli is probably safe to eat)
I've totally thought about cutting the stems off in the store, but it doesn't seem appropriate. Falls somewhere between paying with cash and farting in an elevator. Baaaaa.
That would better than peeling bananas in the store to save the weight of the peel. I wonder if anyone has ever done that.

And right on cue the second dumbest let'sruner to ever weigh in on a nutrition thread chimes in. 👏 👏
Literally not a single thing you have ever said about nutrition on here has ever been remotely close to being true. Bravo for that.

then why did our ancestors evolve molars?
Compare our molars (and jaws and skulls) to those of our earlier, more ape-like ancestors, and you may be forced to review your premise.
The defining difference between apes and humans is humans can hunt, kill and eat lots of meat.

Reason provided:
if that was too complex, we didn't evolve molars. We're in the process of losing our molars.
1) broccoli (flowers), kale (leaves), cabbage (headed-leaves), kohlrabi (engorged stem/hypocotyl), cauliflower (flowers) are all the same species, different subspecies. you can eat the stem, leaves, and flowers either as different subspecies, or all-together in one subspecies -- kale stems, broccoli leaves (the amish sell them, for example). kohlrabi leaves are generally super healthy if not as tasty as some kale leaves.
2) there are a lot of bad tasting kale varieties out there, but a few good ones. i can't say any taste great -- compared to vanilla frosting, say -- but there are some which taste positively bad, and others which taste relatively good. what you're getting in the store is unlikely to taste great. even small farmers go for production and what a catalog says about taste, as few run true variety trials for all facets -- including fresh and cooked flavor -- of a variety.
3) walking around the farmers market i sometimes glance at where the farmer cut their garlic stalks after they had dried. as one of the most pricey $/lb items they sell, that wee bit of dried stalk actually adds up for (us) poor farmers, and one -might- be temped to cut it higher rather than lower. i cut it at the perfect height for slamming the neck -- hard-neck garlic, in this instance -- on a table for popping the cloves apart, either for eating or re-planting.

But they only lived until 35.
Homo sapiens, around 100,000 years ago: 30–35 years. Encyclopædia Britannica sets the life expectancy in the Palaeolithic age at 33; the Neolithic at 20–33; the Bronze and Iron ages at 26.
In Classical Greece the average life expectancy was 25, in Classical Rome it was 20–30, the same as in Pre-Columbian America.
In late medieval English life expectancy was 30, in early modern England 33–40. Infant mortality was around 16 per 1000 births (today it is 3.5). Only two out of ten infants lived to the age of two.
