Let me take this one step further. I’ve always thought “edible raw” was not stringent enough — that is unless you better define "edible.” My shoestrings are edible. But they’re not healthy to eat. Edible has to have a component of “causing human flourishing” if it is to be useful in the definition of paleo.
Just my two cents.
