Over on Slate, Scott Jacobson shares his touching tale of moving to L.A. and bowing to pressure to adopt an all-kale diet. While keeping a "kale journal," Jacobson finds that his favorite leafy green is a bit high maintenance ("kale must actually be massaged"), not beloved by cats, and can be enjoyed as a flavor of Orbitz gum [Editor's note: not really].

Would that be a sign it's time to start attending KA meetings? [Slate]
