Just because something is edible doesn’t mean you should eat it. Which is why at a young age, after my mom put a tongue (as in cow) out for lunch, I swore I’d become a vegetarian (which I did, in college). People eat many disgusting, tasteless, icky, slimy, delicious but bad for you foods, in the name of edible adventurousness. We don’t have to swallow everything put in front of us. Eat to live the edibles that delight and nourish you, and that don’t destroy the planet or gross you out.
Edible with caution

I’ve eaten a lot of weird foods over time but I could never bring myself to eat tongue. Some people love it and think it’s a delicacy, well, to each their own !
Yes, I find the tongue justification hard to swallow.
Right on! It’s like drinking decaffeinated coffee with fat-free milk and fake sugar because it’s “better ” for you. Never mind that it tastes awful! Really. Why bother? And don’t forget to eat your Brussels sprouts. Even though they may remind you of a skunk! LOL
Ha, I don’t know about brussel sprouts, but overcooked kale is like swamp grass.
