Why are days so long, but years so short?

Re: Stuff I just don't understand, post here yours.
Essentially, kale is supposed to be good for you--high in fiber, a few important vitamins and minerals, particularly manganese I think. That's why a lot of people who dislike it eat it anyway. I'm not one of those people--it's not one of my favorite tasting greens, but I don't particularly dislike it.
In terms of it's popularity, I'm not sure why it became such a fad. Maybe for those whose tastes buds don't agree with kale, most things with similar nutritional value are equally bad-tasting, if not worse? Maybe it's got a good ratio of nutrition to calories and fat? Maybe the kale industry has a great marketing team?

Re: Stuff I just don't understand, post here yours.
This is the answer. Kale is the one of the more recent recipients of the (meaningless marketspeak) "superfood" moniker and is considered to be extremely healthful.

Re: Stuff I just don't understand, post here yours.
That's part of it, but there's also just trends in food. Kale is familiar enough to be easy to cook with (if you're familiar with spinach and lettuce you're basically covered), while also different enough to be novel. It's similar to quinoa (standard cereal grain, no harder to cook with than barley or rice), including the responses it gets of both people buying great deals of it and some weirdly hostile response about how it's just so weird, despite being thoroughly ordinary food.

Before kale suddenly became popular, the #1 consumer of kale was Pizza Hut, who used it as a decoration for their salad bars.

Re: Stuff I just don't understand, post here yours.
Butter/Boston/Bibb lettuce (technically these are different varieties, but they're so similar as to be nearly indistinguishable and are sold as such under whatever name the grocer feels like putting on the sign) is pretty similar to baby spinach leaf in my taste. If you like salads with mature spinach I don't think there's any lettuce that is much like that.

Re: Stuff I just don't understand, post here yours.
Schatz, flavor is an even mix of (sliced) heritage tomatoes, cucumber, red onions and fresh basil, with a dressing of olive oil, red and white wine vinegar, fresh citrus juice, pressed garlic, sugar, salt and black pepper, topped with diced and roasted cabana bread. Below that, we don't need to talk.

Tomatoes, olives and dressing.
More ingredients than that provide diminishing returns.

Re: Stuff I just don't understand, post here yours.
#1: Residual sexist assumption that the lady in question would have a handbag, while the guy wouldn't. Therefore, pockets more needed. Plus, another assumption ladies always want to look good, and big pockets = bulges of stuff in them = bad. Though, I've increasingly been done by trousers which lacked proper pockets; even by ones like cargos [which are supposed to have decent pockets]. One of the downsides of internet shopping...
