Remember when they told you eating fat was bad for you and it turned out it wasn’t? Remember when they told you certain fruits (blueberries) and vegetables (kale) were superfoods and it turned out they are no better than almost all other fruits and vegetables? Remember when they told you to stop eating red meat because white meat is so much healthier and it turned out there is no difference (it’s okay if you don’t remember that one — the results have just been published)?
Humans are omnivores — we can eat anything and thrive on it. There are families in India who proudly proclaim they have not touched meat in four hundred years (I’ve met them) and there are, or at least were, Inuit who lived healthy lives on nothing but seal meat and fish. Let’s face it, an average teenager consumes a diet that would make a buzzard puke.
So go ahead and destroy people who drink kale smoothies. It will make absolutely no difference.
I’ve had kale so seldom, and in such small quantities, that I really have no idea what it’s like. But I think I’d try it on a salad rather than making a “smoothie” with it.
But that would put all the kale farmers out of business! They couldn’t clothe or feed their children!!! WON’T SOMETHING THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!!!?!?!?!?!?!!
Both wrong. The only division that matters is the one between us and us. “The line between good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.”—Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Steal their lemon juice so all that iron in the kale won’t be absorbed. They will have suffered for nothing! I like most greens, just not as smoothies. My traditonal New Years collards were delicious. I’m not a jerk cyclist, however, so I’m not that evil.
There is only ONE divide that matters to me: donnydrone or not donnydrone. The later make up every other evil group, like anti-semites, anti-women, anti-black people, et cetera. I couldn’t care less about different races and different religions, insomuch as I just want them to live comfortably.;)
Abraham Lincoln: “A house divided against itself cannot stand." Our dollar is based on nothing. Our values are based on half-truths, innuendo, and the same crazy ideas which drove God’s Stiff Necked Children, and --.
I’m a health food nut who eats almost nothing but organic fruits & veggies, local pastured meats, wild fish, seed grains and whole foods that I make from scratch. But I wouldn’t touch kale with a 10-foot pole, blech!
Eh, it’s the bananas, orange juice sometimes a dollop of raspberry sherbet just for an added layer and kale either green or red (purple really) I know it’s only roughage. You have to heat greens like kale, spinach etc. to get the vitamins to release. Not cooked too much or the vitamins are gone, just heat them a little, enough that they are bright colored. I mix chopped kale with ground lamb, potatoes, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Delicious.

There are so few kale smoothie drinkers that it really isn’t worth the effort.

Mother used to make me eat kale in soup. Had a NICE nursing home picked out for her but she died first.

Helpful tip when cooking kale. Coat the pan with olive oil, and the kale will slide out into the trash bin much easier.

Don’t blame all religions, Rat. We know which austere scholarly religion is causing the most trouble worldwide today.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who think the world can be divided into two types of people, and those who don’t.
(Personally, I’d divide them into those who use hot water to brush their teeth and those who use cold.)

Hopefully, science will discover that too much kale makes the drinker and all his/her descendants sterile.
