I'd guess the "toxins" are in all foods and it's simply more easy for
chemists to recognize them in veggies. If there is any pattern in Jaloa's
eating, it is that she like concentrated foods. Who knows? But she gets
(apparently) a instincto "stop" with any paleo food (including sweet
potatoes ;)), cooked or raw. We give her the choice of each. She sometimes
switches back and forth between the two...
