   To me, Kale tastes like penicillin flavored oak leaves.  YUK!   
      
   It is indeed loaded with vitamins and stuff, but leaf lettuce   
   is 1/2 as much and I eat 4 times as much, so ...   
      
   Off Topic: Retired Chemist.  I have to sit in other   
   peoples chairs to work on their computers.  As a result,   
   my cloths get coated in perfume, with give my wife scary   
   asthma.   
      
   We use to be able to get perfume out by soaking it   
   in vinegar.  But, now Tide and Dawn have come up with   
   perfumes that deliberately are meant to NOT wash out   
   and to persist for over a month.  Here are some of them:

   Whilst we all wait for the massive class action suit to   
   stop this practice, do you know how to remove these   
   toxins?  Vinegar, baking soda, washing soda, sodium   
   percarbonate (h2o2, Oxi), borate do not work.  Enviro   
   Cleanse sort of kind of works, but not really.
