All plants make toxins, they don’t want to be eaten (ripe fruit aside), most of us are pretty good at detoxifying the plants we consider food, but still some people overdose on vegetables. That kale guy who ate kale smoothies, kale salads, charred kale, and nearly nothing else wound up in hospital having exceeded the dangerous dose

It’s a shame that safe limits are not commonly available for everyday plant based food - two bags of vege chips is enough to make many people quite sick, but it won’t tell you on the package.
