Subject: Is it safe to eat a potato used as a battery?

Your site mentions the potato battery as an edible experiment, but I've seen a
couple other sites that instruct you not to eat the potato after using it as a
battery. Is it truly edible or what? 

I make experimental music with alot of battery powered toys, and I thought it'd
be fun to put on a show using lots of vegetable batteries. I'd feel bad wasting
all that food, though (we're talking dozens of potatos), so it'd be ideal if I
could make a vat of potato salad afterwards. So bear in mind, the potatoes would
only be used as batteries for a couple hours, not days.

Thanks for your input!
