Bonus: a recipe!

You’re missing out on a colorful, colorful world!

If you’re a American, there’s a good chance the mere mention of kale is a violent trigger for you. The reaction probably includes cursing the hippies, the vegans, the democrats for some reason, and any dish that doesn’t have bacon or is deep fried.

But its not your fault. Hatred is just a cry for help from a soul that has been wounded, of course. If a leafy green people barely talked about until a decade ago triggers a whole defense reflex, I’m betting that your only experience with kale has been one of the following:

A) Meemaw. The only way she knew how to cook any vegetable was to dump it out of a can into a saucepan on med-high heat, and forget about it for three hours until supper time. God bless her.

And if you say you don’t like her lovingly boiled veggies, which are part of a balanced, government-recommended diet, its no Christmas for anyone.

Or…

B) Darn kids these days.

You know, that stereotype people love so much.

Well, I’m here to tell you that Meemaw and MacTaylee over here are taking a whole genre of really versatile, inexpensive, and tasty food…
