===About Cultivation===
Most of the [[Fruit|fruit]] and [[Vegetable|vegetables]] we eat today don't look like they did 10,000 years ago. They have been ''''cultivated'''. [[Human|Humans]] have [[Selective Breeding|bred]] them by always planting the [[Seed|seeds]] from the biggest and the sweetest [[Plant|plants]]. Over thousands of years this means the new [[Plant|plants]] have got bigger and sweeter with every new generation.
Sometimes [[Plant|plants]] are '''cultivated''' because the look pretty. Many gardens have [[Plant|plants]] that we can't eat, but people like the look of them so they plant and grow them careful.
