That's a good point; to what point do we want to carry the 'no domesticated
stuff' model?  For instance, I eat broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower,
cucumbers... these are different from their wild ancestors, I'm assuming!

But domesticated almonds don't contain the amounts of cyanide that would be
hazardous to a human eating them.  Their other properties we can certainly
discuss :D
