A "poisonous"[well, at least it was trying to be poisonous. Give it some credit.] leafy plant that you can detoxify[that's called cooking] rather straightforwardly and then eat.
Is it really poisonous?? But people eat raw kale all the time....
Not poisonous enough.
Maybe for some animals, it is enough to stop them.
people eat raw kale all the time
People have been chewing and smoking tobacco all the time.
Kale is nothing in comparison.
Also, just because Kale has some substance considered as a poison, doesn't mean it can't have something that is good for health.
I mean, look at me chew on Neem leaves every now and then.
All plants are, to various degrees. It's how they defend themselves.
Wait, it's all Brassica Oleracea?
Always has been

One of the many veggies that comes from the wild mustard plant, related to cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and shit like that.
Somone in the 00s convinced people it was a superfood.
I liked kale before it became popular!
Actually though, it is the superior dark leafy green for soups and stews. It doesnt get all slimy and gross like spinach does, and all the folds and wrinkles are good for holding on to the broth.
I genuinely enjoy kale and have for a long time.
It's refreshing to read comments like yours. As lefty as Lemmy tends to be, people still mysteriously engage in vegan bashing. Like, people are concerned about climate change but simultaneously make fun of people for not eating meat, the leading cause of CO2 emissions?
It was crucifered for your dietary sins. You must respect the B. oleracea.
