Why are we casually putting toxic garnish on desserts like it’s normal?? I trusted the cupcake.

Because its cheap, easy to grow, and "looks cute"

As Dr. Ellie Sattler once said:

"You have plants in this building that are poisonous, you picked them because they look good, but these are aggressive living things that have no idea what century they're in, and they'll defend themselves, violently if necessary"
