"I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food"

So, would someone explain to me, why if I eat holly berries, I'll get really sick?

It is not possible to establish for a certainty how things were in the distant past by observing the present. Conditions have changed. But we do have a clear statement from the past, namely Genesis 1:29, 30: “And God went on to say: ‘Here I have given to you all vegetation bearing seed which is on the surface of the whole earth and every tree on which there is the fruit of a tree bearing seed. To you let it serve as food. And to every wild beast of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving upon the earth and in which there is life as a soul I have given all green vegetation for food.’” This does not mean that vegetation was merely the ultimate basis for food supply through a chain of animal life. Obviously it was not the case with humans because later when they were to begin to get some nourishment from animal flesh they had to be given a special concession. Further, during the Flood of Noah’s day, eight humans and ‘flying creatures and all moving animals of the ground’ were obliged to live on vegetable matter exclusively for more than a year. And the fact that Isaiah 11:6-9 and 65:25 specifically state that former predators will be at peace with other animals, and the lion will eat straw like the bull, would seem to confirm that animals and humans were meant to be vegetation eaters.

As for the many predators being suited for the chase and the kill, what about humans? They have shown an extremely efficient talent for attacking and killing their fellowman. Does that argue for humans’ being designed that way from the beginning? Admittedly, we cannot answer all questions that arise in this matter from what we can observe today, and the account in the Bible is quite brief. Yet, humankind and animal kind were originally designed to live at peace with one another and to get their nourishment from vegetation.

Poisons did not become a factor to Adam and Eve Until After they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden.Nor Did Thorns or Briers for that matter see Genesis 3:17-19

Those that walk the way Yahshua walked would not be affected by it.
Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
But why would you want to eat holly berries anyway? They probably taste real nasty.

Keep reading, you will find that we messed up a really good thing.

All of our ills and ails and pests and pestulences are a result of disobedience to God by Adam and Eve.

P.S. All this will be taken away, and we will once again, be in communion with God, but we must be patient, it is not yet time as of the typing of this answer.

Is this in the Garden of Eden or some where else?

Does that mean every plant and tree will be eatable?

If you want your answer, then answer the two questions.

I always get a kick out of how atheists take Bible passages more literally than the fundiest of fundies.

My guess would be you're just holly-berry intolerant.

Because genesis is full of s h i t and the church knows it is just allegory.
