Yeah, my parents do the same if we're holidaying on a clean bit of coastline - shrimps, seaweed and so forth. Less so in woodlands - presumably on the grounds that the beach was actually quite good at protecting children from itself (most stuff tastes too salty to start with anyway, and shrimps/crabs are good at escaping), whereas poisonous berries looked rather like edible ones, and didn't necessarally discourage children by tasting bad ;)
