Description:

Rebalance farmed crops so non-cabbages are more viable.

I compared the weights a relative hunger values and made the following changes:
Potatoes: 70 kcal -> 174 (medium potato)
Tomatoes: 14 kcal -> 43 (large tomato)
Strawberries: 4 kcal -> 32 (100g)
Radishes: 1 kcal -> 16 (100g)
Carrots: 25 kcal -> 52 (1 cup, or ~2 medium carrots)
Broccoli: 11 kcal -> 136 (400g or ~1 bunch), and .2 kg -> .4 kg

This brings potatoes and broccoli in line with cabbages on a per-item basis, and changes some absurdities like the broccoli value representing a single floret or the strawberries being 1 berry. I tweaked these numbers by creating a spreadsheet of average time to harvest and yield per harvest, and multiplied by the caloric value. You can then calculate the number of plots per person needed to meet calorie needs. Previously, this was 3 for cabbages and some absurd numbers like 208 plots of broccoli to keep a singl person alive, or 567 radishes. Even potatoes are 24 plots per person to hit 1500 calories per day.

With the new values, caloric needs can be met with any of the following:
3 cabbages
10 potatoes
13 carrots
17 broccoli
35 radishes
40 tomatoes
46 strawberries

Cabbages are clearly still king, but now a little variety is viable. I also tweaked the protein, carb, and fat values to match the new calorie counts.
