Happy National Kale Day to you and yours.

Maybe you love that crunchy leaf cabbage that has everyone excited about living their best lives, or maybe you are confounded by its bitter taste and curly-leaved texture. Either way, this superfood is low in calories and is a rich source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate and manganese.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention vegetables?
