What is the formula for days of additional life per pound of kale consumed? Is it quantifiable or just “settled science”?

Which plant was it that Obama said we could make fuel out of?? Was it kale? Or was it kelp/ Doesn't matter. It was an Obama thought so you know it was stupid.

I've never eaten it that I know of. Now I'm glad I haven't.

I grew up eating turnip greens and collards... now my wife can make one more good mess of greens from kale.

then again having been born, raised and lived all my life in the south I've been known to say that Yankees should be just like Grits and Greens and just pass on through..... on their way to Florida, which by my reckoning is not a Southern state.

Kale tastes just like most common grass smells, in my experience. Memories of football came flooding in. You know, every once in a while you had to wait a moment for a pile of people to get up while you were face down in the grass. That's what it tastes like to me.

It is not a food.

Kale, my food's food.

I like kale, I just like brussel sprouts better, and they are close enough, I don't much eat kale.

It's important to prepare it properly. First, cut off the thick bottom stems. Throw them in the garbage. Now, with a scissors, trim the green leaves from the remaining stems. Throw the stems in the garbage. Chop the green leaves into small pieces. Now throw them in the garbage. Done.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

My wife cooks her kale with bacon and minced garlic. Its delicious.
Kale by itself is not so good.

My only experience with kale is that 15 years ago I used to feed it to my iguana.

He loved kale, bananas, strawberries, and hibiscus flowers.

I remember the kale looking all fresh and delicious when I would buy it for him - until I tried it for the first and last time......

Yup, it's a southern thang. Plus some chopped onion and vinegar. With a wedge of cornbread and some pinto beans and you're GTG.

Kale is gross.

Swiss Chard is where it's at.

I'd rather eat a Coot.
