Is it safe for kids to eat pine needles?

On Man Vs. Wild (a show where a survival expert shows you how to survive in scenariOS if your lost in the wilderness), the host did an episode entitled "Sierra Nevada". On that episode, he was looking for things to eat, he came across a pine tree. He said that pine needles are nutritious and good to eat. He said that they have ten times the vitamin C in just one orange. So, yes, they are safe to eat, they are really healthy. Its good to eat them!
