- Kale is dead. A story in The Atlantic claims the bitter leafy green has lost its luster. Google trend searches for the one-time “IT” vegetable have been plummeting most of the year — except for in January, when most Americans suck it up and eat the foods generally seen as healthy. Otherwise, sales of kale have tumbled… The Atlantic says it’s more than just Google trend searches signaling the vegetable’s demise: Earlier this year, kale made its way onto the Dirty Dozen list, an annual compilation of the most pesticide-ridden fruits and vegetables by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Plus, there’s the fact it’s not all that healthy anyway, compared to other healthy foods. A highly publicized 2014 Centers for Disease Control study of leafy greens found that kale was only the 15th healthiest of the bunch.

The dogs were trying to break up the connection between the owners and a rival.
