Don’t Eat The Kale

Posted on September 8, 2015December 10, 2023 by Paul

Have you ever seen anyone, ever, eat kale? Anyone?

I haven't.

The older I get the more I wonder about this kale thing. "Why do restaurants waste time and money putting something no one ever eats on the plate?" Why?!

Maybe it's a little marketing and a lot of psychological manipulation.

-

Adding kale to a plate makes the plate seem fuller. A restaurant can say in an ad, "look at how full our plates are" and get away with it because 1/4 of the plate of nothing more than air. Something no one, in the history of man, is going to eat.

No one eats kale. It's a stupid plant, or vegetable (anyone know? I don't even care enough to Google it right now).

-

What other business or industry, does the "kale" thing?

The first one that comes to mind is politicians of course.

Politicians are the kale of society. No one wants them and yet, they're always there, on your plate, talking about how your plate could use this or that or the other.

Politicians are great at doing cocaine while telling people weed shouldn't be legal. Saying guns should be banned while sending thousands of guns to Mexican cartels which could be (were, are) used against agents. Violence on TV and the movies are killing a generation while taking money to turn a blind eye.

Come on, we all know what politicians are. What they stand for. Either party. All the same.

Even when we think, "ra, ra, ra we have someone on 'our' side" we find out that really we have no one and no one cares.

Here lately (meaning the last 30 years) we've gone from crisis to crisis to crisis - sometimes we can't even get passed a week before one crisis becomes another.

It's all happened before. Those people always create problems. It's what they do.

All good. And who cares.

Welcome to Open Doors and Opportunity!

My name is Paul and I’m the owner of this blog.

The picture of me above was taken by a very famous photographer who has also photographed Presidents of the United States, numerous celebrity actors and various sports professionals, as well as other business professionals like myself.

I was supposed to have a feature article written about what a great marketing professional I was in GQ Magazine, or Fortune Magazine, or Forbes, or Playboy … one of those … but then, things went sideways.

Really sideways.

The article was never written, the photo was never used anywhere, I was fired from the job that made that photo possible, I lost my home and ended up traveling all over in my pick-up truck (known as Unit #4)  and staying in various Wal-Mart parking lots (what I like to call the Wal-Mart Condo Association) for 2 years.

In the meantime, I’ve done everything. I’ve been a partner in the largest nightclub in SWFL, written songs with Grammy Winners in the Songwriter Hall of Fame, started as a public relations grunt and worked my way to Chief Marketing Officer of a restaurant group, and much, much, much more and many things.

It’s been a crazy life – with highs and lows not experienced by anyone who ever “played it safe” — but I was born to live, and so, that’s what’s I’ve done. These are just some of those (all true 100%) stories.
