Re the article on wild parsnip by Mr Fowler, I found a very apt description of the plant and its edibility (yes!) in an article by Samuel Thayer published in countrysidemag.com.
People generally know enough to avoid poison ivy. Why not extend that knowledge to knowing how to approach the wild parsnip?
