Your talking to a guy that has always since a child and still eats cabbage hearts raw as a snack when I am cutting it up.
I was the family human goat of the house and would eat a whole apple seeds and all and only the stem would be left.

I think you're on to something, Worth. The raw food faze got people eating raw kale, but it traditionally has always been served cooked.
Kale naturally has oxalic acid in it to protect it from animals & insects. Oxalic acid can cause lots of problems, such as gout, kidney stones, and muscle pains. Unless it's cooked, in which case the oxalic acid decreases. So your basic reaction was right on target!
