The Florida Agriculture Commissioner has banned the
sale of a gel candy containing "conjac" The gel is said not to dissolve at
body temperatures and thus presents a hazard to children who swallow it
whole.
Is this one of the starches from an amorphophallus?
Or perhaps a more generic name in the Pacific for something from an underground
storage organ?
Anyway, the obvious behaviour pattern for us should
be to enjoy the olfactory delights of our plants, but to avoid sucking on bits
of them. Derek
