What would you do with the spinach though? Presumably it couldn't be eaten by man or beast. Or does it convert the toxins into less harmful substances?

You compare nutrition of apples with peanuts, then say it's natural for humans to eat apples. It's natural for us to eat peanuts too - compare the nutrition of apples with peanut butter if you want to make that argument.
