If you've ever groaned at the prospect of eating kale,China now you have the perfect excuse to back away from your health-conscious friend's green smoothie.
SEE ALSO: Woman refuses to snitch on her new buddy: Marvin the 7-Eleven lizardGrace Goldstein opened her fresh bag of Trader Joe's kale on Tuesday, only to discover a dead lizard nestled among the leafy greens. Her friend shared the mildly gross image on Twitter to the joy of all those who reject the superfood.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Goldstein told Peoplemagazine that after she made the shocking discovery, there was a lot of "asking [her] boyfriend to see the bag of kale and identify the lizard and shrieking and pushing it away and refusing to go near it…and then asking to see it again."
An understandable reaction to this grotesque find.
If you wanted a closer look at the unexpected salad guest, Goldstein also shared the photo on Instagram.

Goldstein told Peoplethat she reached out to Trader Joe's corporate. The chain is investigating, but there have been no further updates.
Trader Joe's responded to Mashable's inquiry about the incident:
"We are committed to providing customers with great products of the highest quality and are currently working with our vendor to look into and address the matter."
Hopefully, this is an isolated incident that does not speak for all Trader Joe's stores, bags of kale, or corporate-minded lizards.
