Aren't decorative cabbages edible?

Whilst not a toxic vegetable in its natural state, an increase in intestinal gas can lead to the death of many small animals like rabbits due to gastrointestinal stasis.

And soy does that to cattle unless it's toasted to get rid of the oligosaccharides. But we eat it just fine (with perhaps a bit extra gas).
