Apparently this was an actual discourse going around.

      Maybe, but the dandelion is still carried due to working with other elements of the salad.

      Plus making the salad is still “cooking”, and takes time, as opposed to the seconds it takes to peel a banana.

      I’m not anti-dandelion, and it makes sense as part of a balanced diet. But internet point is mainly that it’s not as yummy or convenient as a banana.

        Sure, time’s a point for the convenience of bananas, but I’d question the use of “cooking,” as I’d associate the word with applying heat. The raw food movement people still prepare their food, but they don’t “cook” it.

          True, but that’s mostly semantics. If you say you cooked a steak or made a salad, you’re still preparing food, and everyone knows what you mean.
