I think the idea is to be on the safe side. Perhaps there are things we could
actually eat although they are on the "forbidden" list, but as we do not know
for sure it is better to aviod them. There is still enough left :-)
(Although I personally have some problem finding a good variety of vegetables
that I like, but that would not be better with inclusion of the "forbidden"
ones. I stick to fruit instead.)
