Huge amounts of raw mushrooms. Bracken fern, in any quantity. Huge amounts of apple seeds, peach pits. Many/most raw legumes. Basically your taste will be your guide. If it's really toxic, you won't want to eat it. Re: Not safe?

Raw soybeans are inedible and toxic. Don't eat poison oak/ivy! Re: Not safe?

As food, yes: poison oak/ivy are not food. However, they can be eaten in small quantities as MEDICINE. When this is done, it can reduce a person's sensitivity to skin contact with poison oak/ivy. This is discussed in the books by Euell Gibbons. Let us note that one of the false pseudo-religious beliefs of fundamentalist natural hygiene is that there is no such thing as medicine; it does not exist. Such beliefs simply highlight how unrealistic, unnatural, and just plain stupid, natural hygiene is. Re: Not safe?

To me, it was a sort of gateway to raw foodism. I understand it as cleaning one's inside and outside, uh, naturally... eating efficiently, cleaning without chemicals, getting sun, etc... Re: Not safe?

Date: December 12, 2006 01:05AM I think cooking potato's would taste terrible.
Also collards might upset your stomache if you eat them like a wrap. Re: Not safe?

Date: December 12, 2006 03:13AM Trinity, I use a dressing or filling with plenty of ginger in it when I use collard leaves for wraps. Maybe that would be helpful to you.
