Wheat is no more poison than any other food. The poison is the screaming meemies who claim that everything is bad, including... Horrors!!!! wheat.
Fuck this shit. The same people said that eggs were bad, butter was bad (but oleo was allegedly good), etc.
Food is good for you!!! If you want to eat healthy, just eat a balanced diet. If you're a vegetarian, eat beans (or some such) for protein. If you're vegan, the same. If you're a fructarian, there's little hope for you -- I recommend lots of wine. If you're a breath-airian, I recommend Hospice care.
In my older age, like many, I eat less meat. But I eat all sorts of everything. That's the way humans evolved. If you disagree, I would suggest that you consider that humans have been omnivores for a million years, maybe many. Of course, many humans eat bugs -- I understand that they're tasty and very nutritious.
Wheat is just another part of human diet. Calling it a poison is to display utter ignorance and an ideology counter to everything we know about diet.
In other words, balderdash!
