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...
Eat lots of berries!! It has the opposite effect. My partner has had 3 dvts now and has vascular ulcers as well he had a high tension metal cable snap and wrap around his calf 15+ years ago0 -

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

One of my all time favorite recipes has kale in it.

And a pound of italian sausage and lots of gruyere cheese...but, ya know, also kale.0 -
I can pick it up for pretty cheap, so I'm good with it. Turnip greens are my favorite.0

I kale failed. Spinach on Tombstone today...with EVOO. Evil stuff.0

I share Jim Gaffigan's feelings about kale...
"It tastes like bug spray. I was looking at a can of bug spray and it said, 'made with real kale'."
"Kale is a superfood, and it's special power is tasting bad."
"It's like a really bitter spinach with hair."
"They could find out that kale cures cancer and I'd be like, 'I'll just do the chemo'."0 -

Shoot. Guess I'll get back to the other method of preventing prostate cancer.0 -
The kale in my garden is not bitter and tastes nothing like bug spray. It is sweet and luscious. I plant a variety of greens because they all taste and behave differently. My very favorite way to cook it: wash, remove center stalk, roll, and slice thinly. Put it in a skillet with a little water and olive oil and a few raisins or dried cherries and a sprinkle of salt. Put the lid on and cook over medium till tender (just a few minutes) then sprinkle on blue cheese and toasted pine nuts. Yum!!!0

One night I made a crap ton of kale chips and woke up with my throat feeling tight and itchy. I didn't really think much of it so ate kale again for lunch...itchy. Only in large quantities does it happen, but it doesn't really make me want kale anymore.0

Only ways I like it are kale chips and in my homeade kale sausage and potato soup0

Hmm I have tried it. I even have a container of homemade kale chips next to my bed (for netflix ;-)), but I just find it too bitter. I am going to try making brussel sprout leaf salt & vinegar chips next.0

Nope. Kale tastes like poisoned lettuce to me, and I'm not going to eat it just because "it's so good for you!!!"0

Kale tastes like a hippies arm pit.0

Not a big kale fan, I also prefer spinach. But I have have heard such good things about the benefits of kale, so I think if I just mix it into a super food salad, I can get used to i.0

Kale is amazing in gnocchi soup. I also don't mind it raw in sandwiches instead of lettuce.0

It has nothing to do with sourcing but how different people taste certain sulforaphanes.0 -
I had a kale salad with grilled butternut squash, roasted beets, Granny Smith apples, and homemade granola for dinner tonight. Really yummy!
Oh, and I make kale chips in my dehydrator a couple of times a week with tahini, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder. Crispy, yet light and airy. Really good!0
