Very quickly, cabbage is included in local meals in it's raw state. In that
state, it usually causes gases and even cramping in the digestive system of
some people. Also since it's served raw it has to be washed very well to
clear all the bacteria that might attach to it. Most restaurants wash it
well , but out on the street the air is filled with so many things and
cabbage picks them up so easily.
So it's not the vegetable itself, it's how it's handled that can cause
problems if you eat it at a unsanitary place.
