the soil and some types of Bay are toxic anyway!

They have probably got confused by the fact that bay is in the same
genus as cherry laurel. You could start talking to them about potatoes
and deadly nightshade. Or (not quite so closely related) carrot and
hemlock, peas and laburnum ... with a little research you could
persuade them to restrict themselves to an extremely limited diet :-)
"They" don't exist. The whole argument started between just two of us.
