Kale is actually not that bad tasting
I know.  Kale is just fancy cabbage.  I have no idea why it gets such ire.
Probably cause people pushed it so hard as the best healthy food ever
Maybe, but Kale has also been used as shorthand for snooty Hollywood types for some reason.  As if they're the only people who but cabbage on things.
I kind of prefer cabbage myself but to each their own, both are good
Kale is cabbage.  It's just closer to a wild cabbage.  We grew them in American during World War II because it was easy to grow during rationing.
