Jicama

The root of the jicama plant is supposed to be tasty and nutritious but everything else on the plant is deadly poison.  A neighbor joined me for the morning yesterday and she brought along a plastic bin that contained about a pound of raw jicama root which she proceeded to eat with expressions of gusto and exclaimed about how tasty it was.  I believe she hoped that I would ask her for a taste, but I was well into a 20 fast and didn't care to cater to her lure.  Later she told me that she had a colonic scheduled for the afternoon and usually had several doctors appointments weekly.  So much for the superiority of jicama.
