A lot of people seem to hate the flavor, I don't mind it and I wonder if it's because I ate a lot of broccoli as a kid (didn't have any kale until decades later). For some reason, in America, there's a cultural association with healthy food (especially if it isn't meat based) and left-wing political progressives. I think that is also playing a part here, as there's an implication that the progressive left-wing NYT would be interested in publishing more healthy food propaganda and otherwise "telling people how to live."
