Go eat some poison ivy if the bible says it’s ok to eat anything.

I'm gonna guess that the substance doctors use to desensitize people with extreme allergic reactions to poison ivy is, uh, poison ivy. Therefore, poison ivy has a known therapeutic value, & people do “use” it.

But making it illegal to “use” it would be ludicrous.

I believe the word “meat” use in the quoted scripture has a broader meaning. It means more than eating; it means using or consuming as well. We don't eat yeast, we use it to make bread & beverages. We don't (yet) eat wood, we build with it, though in North Korea, wood may be a taste treat, & I suspect some trees HAVE been made illegal to eat. Ruins the view!
