    lol ... they're going to have to do a lot better than that. Kale is a vegetable that I don't even care a whole lot for, but when I want a burger, theirs don't even come close to being edible. Their milk shakes are disgusting now, and they used to be really good a long time ago.

    Times I've been there recently (in past couple of years), the only thing I will eat there is there cold salads with grilled chicken on them. Not too bad.

      The only thing I stop at McDonald's for is coffee. They make a damn fine cup of coffee.

      While I love every green vegetable, kale has never passed my lips in any way shape or form. Can't tell you why. Some kind of aversion and I have no idea what it stems from.

        I love most vegetables, but Kale is just too tough and bitter to me. Not worth trying to develop a taste for it when I love spinach.

          You've got to cook it right. First heat up a skillet and cook up a bunch of bacon. While that is cooking wash and rinse the Kale.
          When the bacon is done, remove from pan and fry up a couple eggs in the grease. Eat the bacon and eggs. Bring the washed kale out back and fed it to the chickens and hogs.

            lol .... here I was thinking you had a really good kale recipe. When I was managing restaurants, we used it, like Midnight Oil says, to garnish the salad bar. Made it look real pretty. Then we tossed it.

              Ahhhhhh, kale is so yesterday. I'd rather have fresh spinach or cook the frozen until it is melt in your mouth tender.

        Yeah, the same with me. Their indoor playgrounds are nice too. My son plays in them (and doesn't even eat their "food").

          Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
          So that blind people can hate them as well.

            The only thing kale is good for is decorating salad bars . . . in the 90's.

            McDonald's sausage, egg and cheese biscuits. Now there's some tasty heart cloggers.

    I recently met a mother whose son had landed a scholarship to university with hockey. She pointed out that it wasn't easy. They had to go to go to training 5 in the morning every day. He had to do weight training 4 days a week, run 5 miles a day carrying 70 pounds of weights, train in muay thai kickboxing for balance and self-defense skills on ice, maintain a strict dietary regimen with nutritious foods such as kale, and work 3 different jobs to pay for it all. I thought, wow, he had to eat kale, the sacrifices an athlete has to make...

    You've gotta massage your kale, people. Much like my wife, a good massage will turn your kale from bitter and tough to sweet and silky.
