It must be thinking, with the same desperation of Popeye, “Oh, what am I? Some kinda barnicle on the dinghy of life?" And over there the Brussels sprouts are inconsolable - I think people are watching me now as I play-act the accents on all the green vegies - " Merde, but we taste the same.” I think it's a Jean-Claude van Damme accent. I look down from the kale at the display of decidedly un-super spinach. Even amongst this group, kale is the superhero needed to rescue the situation. You’ll buy a cold-pressed juice and it’ll have this list of ingredients – carrot, celery, ginger, beetroot, orange – but the star ingredient is kale. I note at the markets that kale has been transformed, much like Peter Parker when bitten by that radioactive spider, to a "super food". As a witty Facebook friend says, the only things that are super are heroes and phosphate. My main message though, surely, would be don’t believe all that bunk about kale being a superfood.
