ALL HAIL WATERCRESS.
Boo!! Hiss!! Oh wait, you're right. Anything's better than kale. You go, girl!
But still--bacon & peeps > kale and watercress
vs.
Kale belongs in a trash can. Along with the quinoa.
It might be, but I'm forced to ask, isn't kale a fern?
From wiki:
Kale:Kale or borecole (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) is a vegetable with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered[1] to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms of vegetables.
The species Brassica oleracea contains a wide variety of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and brussels sprouts. The cultivar group Acephala also includes spring greens and collard greens, which are similar genetically. Pieris rapae is one of the best-known pests of the plant.
Fern:A fern is a member of a group of roughly 12,000 species[3] of vascular plants that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers. They differ from mosses by being vascular (i.e. having water-conducting vessels). They have stems and leaves, like other vascular plants. Most ferns have what are called fiddleheads that expand into fronds, which are each delicately divided.[4]
Leptosporangiate ferns (sometimes called "true ferns") are by far the largest group, but ferns as defined here (ferns sensu lato) include horsetails, whisk ferns, marattioid ferns, and ophioglossoid ferns. This group may be referred to as monilophytes. The term pteridophyte traditionally refers to ferns plus a few other seedless vascular plants (see the classification section below), although some recent authors have used the term to refer strictly to the monilophytes.
I'm gonna go with no but I'm not a biologist and my last biology class was in 2004. Plus I never learned the plant kingdoms either in 5th grade...

Yeah I know but science and learning!

I eat kale cuz it's healthy. Anyone who says it tastes good is a liar. In soup its fine cuz it gets soft and easy to eat. In fruit smoothies it's good cuz it gets mashed up and fruit is yummy. I look at it as a vitamin; just swallow it down as fast as you can and let it do the work.0

It turned black and smelled nasty. I declined, and opened another beer.0 -

I feel bad that you are in jail, Jo. Your snarkiness amuses me. (I just don't want to be on the receiving end.)0 -

I don't care that it's "healthy" or a "superfood" or whatever.
It tastes gross and I'd rather eat spinach0 -

I'm pretty sure it is. Kale = decoration. Ferns are decorative. Ergo, kale is a fern. QED
This was my line of reasoning. I'm not into those sciencey terms like genus and species. I find that they create artificial boundaries.
plant specieism. like racism only plant like.0 -
i love kale. especially in chip form....but i'm pretty sure too much of it is bad for your thyroid or something.....
^^^ This is pretty good.

True story
I bought into the kale buzz last summer and planted a row in my garden.
I harvested one batch, tried it, and decided to let the rest bolt. Holy crap that stuff would NOT die...0 -

I would have to eat 5.9 kilograms of kale to meet my daily calorie needs. That would include 118 times my DV of vitamin A.0 -
