I just found this. I don't know if organic kale is any better or not.

If this is really true, then Yikes! I decided to grow my own kale this year. Seems like growing stuff yourself is the only sure way to know it’s safe!

I see stuff like this online all the time. I can't worry about it or I'd worry myself into fearful misery. I bet if all our food supply items were tested nothing would be "safe"!

Kale is surprisingly easy to grow. I've got three plants going now that I planted last October. They're out in a raised bed with zero protection from heat, or cold. I have other plants I started in the early spring, but the ones that overwintered are much stronger growers, and those three plants provide most of my kale, and I eat it a LOT. Good stuff. Grown yourself the fresh stalks are mildly sweet tasting, like really good broccoli is
