More CO2 in the atmosphere could really help with that. Oh, wait...
And kale is a hearty winter dish in these parts. Harvested after the first hard frost. Then it's tasty.

Have no idea what "customized kale" would be. Do they cover it like they do "white" asparagus?
Vegetables in general are overrated. They are full of natural toxins.
I eat Kale. I buy a spinach/kale salad mix. I also buy dried flavored kale snacks.
I’m not great at eating vegetables but love the different greens so try to eat them as often as I can. I had scrambled eggs with spinach/kale in them this morning.
This is actually good news. World population is not going to grow by 60 percent by 2050. The projected increase in food demand is mainly due to improved diets as the bulk of the third world becomes (relatively) more affluent. As incomes rise, the first thing people what to do is eat better. This generally means more animal protein. All of this is very good news for U.S. farmers, agribusinesses, and exports because we are the most productive and innovative food producers in the world.
Cooked correctly, kale is very tasty. For example, kale chips with garlic and parmesan cheese.
Or in the slow cooker with chicken broth, a can of Rotel tomatoes, garlic, and some type of sausage - I like to go with kielbasa myself, but something a bit spicier would be good. Cook for six hours on low. Serve over white rice with corn bread. Good eating.
Which also make good chips if you do the right - meaning don't burn them.
Kale is a first world luxury.
What is the electricity cost of grow lights??
My new veggie experiment uses a tall see through plastic container. Put Mediterranean style veggies. Chopped up only bite size. Such as, bell pepper, olives, zuccini, mini tomatoes, mini carrots, broccoli, califlower, onion etc.
Optional cheese like crumbly blue cheese.
Drench in olive oil and basalmic vinegar. That preserves it. It should last for days. Easy eating, munching.

Everybody says, “Oh, kale chips are DELICIOUS!”. But then, those are the people who LIKE kale. How could the chips be delicious, when the other kale recipes taste so nasty? I’m not a greens lover, though. They usually taste bitter to me, and I never have cared for bitter foods. I don’t even like the white parts of iceberg lettuce. That’s my nephew’s favorite part, but then, he’s a chef.
I make something like that but all sliced boiled eggs.
LED grow lights are relatively inexpensive to use.
Jalapeno peppers are NOT expensive.
HOT jalapeño peppers (red) are.
Lather, rinse, repeat with Serrano peppers.
We have a decent harvest and can gift peppers to our friends...
I believe that we save $$$ on the overall cost of veg...
I KNOW that there has not been anyone ‘dumping’ on my food.
It’s worth the small amount we pay for electricity.
Do you have a hobby?
What is the cost/benefit ratio?
Nome sayng?
I recently researched the cost of pumping real sunlight into a room indoors. Expensive maybe, $5000 to $20,000, but it would be free sunshine.
Also some grow light designs have the grow light, just inches away from the top of the plant foe maximum light.
I like lots of greens - kale ain’t among them...
