And is it not the appropriate thing to ignore things like that in persona (out of
propriety and persona if not respect).  If confronted with such a crass individual,
why not say, "When I arrived in this fair land, I found these plants growing wilde,
and since my animals ate them with no ill effects, I decided to try them and found
them most appealing."  You stay in persona and hopefully shut down the interloper
at the same time.
