Does anyone know if there's any problems related to eating
radish greens? Any poisonous types of radish greens or some
such? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing as a poisonous
radish green?

I've looked through Google and I see a ton of suggestions
to use radish greens on sandwiches, in salads with other
greens, sprinkled with grated cheese, etc.

How could anyone say he saw many mainstream *recipes* for a food and
then ask if it were poisonous? I believe it's kinder to label the
poster as a troll than unbelievably, um, lacking in reasoning power.

The post asks if *some* radish varieties are poisonous, and also if
*some* people may have problems eating radish greens. Thinking that the
fact that some people eat radish greens does not imply that the type of
radish greens he happens to grow might not be safe for him is not
indicative of lack of reasoning power. You can also find many mainstream
recipes for a food like mushrooms. Do you want to conclude that the
mushroom you find in your backyard is therefore safe?
