Researchers report that exposing broccoli to pink light can boost its growth, a finding with implications for indoor and vertical farming. The approach builds on the wider use of LED lighting in controlled-environment agriculture, where growers tune light colour to improve yields. Readers are sharing the study as an example of how lighting technology is changing food production.

A Garry's Mod animation shows a mother character trying to make the Gummy Bear Sisters eat giant broccoli, playing on the familiar theme of parents pushing children to eat vegetables. The video has drawn a large audience, with engagement exceeding 217,000, suggesting strong interest in this family-friendly, comedic take on mealtime battles between parents and kids.
