This is especially funny to me because I tell people all the time about kale being a man made (cultivated) plant from the wild mustard seed.

I usually ask people to name a food stuff that hasn't been genetically manipulated in some way by human hands. You can't. There really are none. Even non-gmo food stuffs are still selectively bred or clonal species.
