Sandi, I certainly enjoyed your article. I can't believe anyone would try to "peel" the cactus paddles! Thorns & then peeling? A lot of work for a small amount of "meat".
I hadn't thought about growth inhibitors on root vegetables. No wonder we don't see the sprouts on potatoes like we did when we were kids. It also makes me think about what's on that root vegetable I'm eating & what may have gotten through to the inside!
