Loading... Please wait...I prefer my kale with a silent K—just ale. Why spend ten minutes chewing a decorative shrub when I could be enjoying its much friendlier cousin? Kale always feels like a food that’s judging my life choices, while ale is a beverage that supports them. One shows up in a smoothie and makes me question my happiness; the other shows up at a barbecue and suddenly everyone’s a philosopher. If given the choice between kale and ale, I’m choosing the option that doesn’t taste like it was harvested from a medieval castle moat.
