I'm sorry, cd, I didn't plan on trying to drown you. Honest. Thankfully, you weren't drinking something that makes the nasal passage burn, like sody pop or alcohol.I couldn't sleep, so I got up and had a TastyKake Butterscotch Krimpet and milk... the milk just went in my mouth and out my nose. ..
No kidding. You beat me to this.It's got better marketing.
larry, Himself swears that kale is really that plastic stuff some butchers use to separate the different types of meat in the butcher case. As far as how it got popular? My theory is it has to be the Smoothie Crowd. They were looking for something green and leafy to put into their smoothies to justify having a milkshake for breakfast. Kale was cheap because no one really wanted it, passing it up for spinach and Swiss chard and collard greens. Once the hipsters made it popular, the price went up - which is exactly what drives the sale of such things. "It's expensive? It must be good! I must have it!". And, thus, kale is now considered hip and trendy, showing up on menus all over. I know that you know your nutrition, so don't get hung up on one veggie that you think you should like. Instead, find the veggies that are good for you that you enjoy, and eat with joy!
