I think there is some duped info that's already been posted here.
I had a wicked Kale caesar salad once.
I'll eat it if it's there but I also lean to the spinach side over kale.0 -

^^That isn't the kale, it is the dressing and croutons.

Though one could potentially argue that the latter are required to make the former palatable.0 -
I think kale and most bitter greens taste good, but I legitimately like the taste (although, I started trying it because of all the superfood hype). Now, I just love bitter greens. My new two favorites are lacinato kale (it holds up to how badly I overcook it) and mustard greens (awesome with just a tiny bit of lemon juice added toward the end, then I eat a big pile of it with some runny fried eggs on top). The other night, we did kale that we started with chopped bacon and put in a butt-ton of minced garlic at the end, so it was still nice and spicy. Worth it.0

And I rarely ever cook it with bacon. This just happened to be made on a meat-centric evening.0

LOL, I guess I would have to agree with this, however, I opt to skip the kale part of it, then I might as well have a Big Mac.

People with hypothyroidism shouldn't eat cruciferous vegetables within 2 hours of taking their thyroid meds. And even then they should have it cooked.0

People with blood clots or tendencies toward clots need to cut down on the bitter greens, as they "thicken" your blood. It sucked when I had a blood clot. I didn't even know fairly active people could get blood clots at a young age, but I guess that just proves my ignorance.0

Yup this is very true and something we have to be conscious of in our house my partner is on blood thinners and after we eat greens his I and R gets thrown out of whack!!! 30% of the population has blood with a tendency to clot it's only those that have have a crush injury (what's happened to my partner) and DVT (my partner has also had 3 of due to crush injury) that will actually even find out about the issue! Most will never need medication or will never even know or need to worry about it!

It was so weird to me, because I hadn't been sedentary (working out once per day, twice a day at least three times a week), I don't eat insane amounts of cruciferous veggies, I hadn't sat on a plane for 14 hours or something like that. It just happened. Turned out it just happened to dad, too, about five years earlier. I'd say getting older sucks, but I saw 16-18 year-olds at the clinic, too. Life, I suppose...0

I didn't say we had to eat ALL food animals eat. Though some beetles are probably nutritious.
