    My husband put it in a smoothie with spinich and some fruit...normally without the kale it would taste good..

    He said it tasted like he was licking a dirty potato...smelled like a dirty potato but I took his word on the taste so Yah I can see why kale would be on that list of foods to hate.

    Wow, that's good stuff. But I NEED an answer to this question now:

    "As kale becomes more and more popular, it raises the question: how will we feel the world’s almost 9 billion people on kale? "


    How will we feel them??

  • I don't think I've ever met anyone who likes Kale.

    I LOVE vegetables - but I even hate it.

    As well it is a conspiracy. Either the government, or BIG AGRA, or someone.
  • THAT was funny! And I like the 'it smelled like dirt and tasted like licking a potato' comment because it DOES. I used to hate it but now I actually like it. But I do hate kiwi.

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH PINEAPPLE???!!!

    It never masquerades as pizza crust; it understands its role in life.

    Kale chips, when made properly, are freaking delicious. As is kale added to pasta with caramelized onions and truffle oil.

    P.S. That article was amusing :)

    I use it instead of water in my protein shakes. Tasty for me and then tasty for the ladies.

    I love pineapple! It's one of the better fruits, IMO. Cooked cauliflower always smells like farts to me, and what I imagine a fart would taste like.

    Kale and cauliflower taste gross. Pineapple is tasty, especially fresh, on it's own, but should never be put on pizza. It's just a travesty...
