Herb morphosis

Let none associate with the soul-destroying Manicheans, who by decoctions of chaff counterfeit the sad look of fasting, who speak evil of the Creator of meats, and greedily devour the daintiest, who teach that the man who plucks up this or that herb is changed into it.

Lovely quote Duke. Damn Manicheans and their herbal daintiness. Reminds me of the modern day New Age vegamite vegans.
