Scarier is NASA talk of recycling poop into food. Wonder whose great idea that was.

I'm no greeny, but this article is crap.
“It occupies precious crop acreage...”, nonsense. First, crop acreage isn't precious. Second, crops like lettuce produce multiple harvests off of the same acreage every year, unlike corn and wheat.
There is a good argument that it isn't nutritionally efficient, but I don't care, and nutritional efficiency isn't exactly an American problem. Eat what you want, grow what the market demands.

If you are a real man or woman, the cows eat the salad and we eat the cows.

Your salad is very fresh.
I like mine with a few aged rusted screws. For variety I add eye screws.

Iceburg lettuce has water soluble fiber. But there are much better lettucess like romaine. But I try mixex greens with spinach, radicchio, arugula, cucumbers, avocado, radishes and it is a very real salad full of nutrients and phytochemicals.
