Iceberg lettuce. This is a ongoing fight between me and my boyfriend. I say, iceberg lettuce should be stricken from everyone's diet, due to these three points.
#1- it has NO TASTE
#2- it has a very very low nutritional value, especially compared to other green salad-type things
#3- it has almost no calories, and is therefore not giving much energy
It is basically the equivelant (sp?) of eating air. PLUS, when you think about the fact that you put salad dressing on it, you are gaining fat from the salad dressing without actually aquiring many nutrients from said lettuce. This is why everyone should eat Romaine lettuce or Endive or whatever leafy green you so desire. My boyfriend, however, says that why shouldnt you eat it, because though you aren't gaining much of anything from it, you're not doing anything bad to yourself by eating it. Sure, i would agree with this IF it had some form of taste, so that you were getting some kind of enjoyment out of it, but it doesn't!! So if it doesn't taste and it doesn't give you many nutrients, WHY WOULD YOU EAT IT? Eat something like Romaine or Spinach, that have taste and are good for you. If you would like to tell him that you agree with me and iceberg lettuce is completely useless, click on the link to his blogspot here.
