Just maybe Paul let’s say in a SHTF and you came across a rhubarb patch you just might through hunger cook the leaves up with the stalks if you did not know.
Plus let’s assume a starving person would not always wait for the crops to be ripe before picking and eating, then elderberry would/could kill you, it would be like drinking sea water to quench thirst.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
