We live in America. We can eat better than Kings in other countries. I don’t need the media to tell me what to eat.

Ha! I have long maintained that green leafy things are what food eats.

Cheap filler for restaurant salads.

Used to be, making salad for myself at home, I’d toss in all kinds of stuff. A few years ago I figured lettuce was awful. Lately, for a salad, I just put five or six stuffed olives, dump on shredded cheese, and coat with ranch dressing. That’s all.

The author must be thinking about iceberg lettuce, which is indeed empty of nutrients and is mostly watery filler.

Romaine lettuce, on the other hand, is more nutritious than many other vegetables.

Unless, of course, you’re eating salads as a way of cutting calories. Plants in general have lower nutrition density than meat. There’s a reason most herbivores have to eat all day long in order to get enough nutrition to survive.

Dolts like Tamar (author) won’t be happy unless the Proles are reduced to eating synthetic soy-based loaf 3 meals a day (naturally, he assumes he will be one of the Beautiful People who will of course be permitted to continue eating fine foods because they’re so much more deserving than those awful redneck square-meal conservatives).

Restaurants’ biggest profit maker is not on the wine list, but in the salad ingredients.

That said, we do need a certain amount of fiber and/or roughage in our diet, JMHO. I’ve gone on Atkins many times & it helps to shovel in some `rabbit food’ daily.

This “report”, however, is nothing but more U.N. inspired globaloney about how we selfish Americans consume most of the world’s food supply, resources, gasoline, Pokemons, etc.

Green leafy things love CO2, that dangerous “pollutant” that will surely kill us all. It really will.

When I go through the salad bar, I don’t like to even watch what a lot of folks do. I watched one guy put a little token lettuce down. Then he upended the crouton bowl and buried the lettuce. Then he drowned the croutons with ranch dressing. That was his “salad”.

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.

We can help the environment by eating and recycling Tamar.

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