Can you explain this? What in the salad is trash?

NP. So many places use iceberg lettuce, sad, pale tomatoes, limp carrots, and gloppy, dead-sweet dressings. When a salad is done right, it’s superb, but that’s like 5% of restaurant salads.

Where are you eating? I can't remember the last time I had a salad like that, and it was probably on a plane.

Eating animals/stuff Americans find unacceptable. Like who asked you set the standard?

Pretty much everywhere. Agree with PP, usually a big bowl of bitter tasteless lettuce. Maybe a flavorless tomato slice and carrot thrown in. A cucumber slice if you’re lucky. Oh and onions , sometimes lots of onions since they are cheap. Add in a side of watered down dressing....bleh.
If you know a restaurant with amazing salads do tell!

I think most restaurant salads in my area are fine, but I refuse to pay huge amounts for lettuce and a few toppings.

PPs sound like they buy salads at McDonalds and wonder why it’s bad!

Chinese food (besides rice) is best cold out of the container the next day. Or later that night for a midnight snack. I’m sometimes tempted not to even bother eating some hot and just putting it straight in the fridge, but it feels wrong.

Stop trying to make Brussels sprouts happen for me. It's never gonna happen.

McDonalds has priced their Filet of Fish sandwich out of consideration.
I'd get a craving for a few every few months.

Not at all. I have a family member who sells his family farm's produce at DC area farmer markets. They work *very hard* and are very passionate about growing their produce without pesticides. Their farm is in Maryland and he visits his friends' farms (who also sell at market).

Also, you can just tell. Produce is super fresh and tastes amazing. It is prohibitively expensive to feed our family of 6 though.

Have you even been to California? Most restaurants here in Los Angeles have 5-8 or more different salads on the menu. It’s glorious. The worst part of travel is not having my California salads.

How can something be both bitter and tasteless?

Anonymous wrote:Not sure if this is controversial, but I think moral veganism is a sham. Eating lots of greens = use of pesticides. Foods like açaí berries are exploitative of the places they’re from and they often rely on foods shipped from afar. Also, soy production for tofu is not very environmentally friendly. It’s more sustainable to rely on your local farmer’s market including eating meat than ship in supplemental foods.

What makes you think that all vegans eat greens (organic ones wouldn’t have pesticides), açai berries and tofu? And aren’t there also meat eaters that eat the same?

Also, you’re confused about moral/ethical veganism. It has to do with animal cruelty, not sustainability.

Food in Italy is way overrated. Everyone raves about how great it is. Its fine and even good, but not particularly special.
