What made you wake up one day and say... You know what? I want to eat some grass. It isn't filling or does anything. Is it mental illness? Ok maybe not that far. Why eat grass?

Good, if you stuff calorie dense foods down your throat all the time, you'll consume more calories than you use to feel satiated, and that leads to obesity.
>or does anything.
Your pic related is lettuce, and it's a great source for some nutrients.

70% of all crops grown for human consumption are grass, like: wheat, barley, oats, rice, corn, sugarcane etc.

It's only like that if you eat it in combination with animal priducts. After a while your gut biome adjusts. My farts have no or little smell, many vegans report that.

Some bitter flavors are pleasant. It's bitter, but not in a way that makes you feel sick to your stomach like eating it is wrong. If any bitterness in anything ever makes you feel that way then you probably eat way too much sugar and have fucked up your tastebuds.

“The dressing is SO simple: into a jar or container that has a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil (back then they used salad oil but what is that exactly? jk) and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. SHAKE THE DRESSING REALLY WELL SO THE SUGAR HAS A CHANCE TO DISSOLVE.”

>It isn't filling
Then add something filling, dingus. I make salad with a ton of vegetables but add mixed nuts, grated cheese, chopped boiled egg, and homemade croutons. Salad doesn't just have to be vegetables. That along with a mustard vinaigrette or buttermilk dressing and it ends up being very filling.

The vegetables just taste good and have a nice texture. But how enjoyable a salad will be kind of depends on having proper technique. Like huge chunks of raw vegetables take a long time to chew, so you'll want to slice them really thinly like with cabbage. Slicing raw onion really thin makes it milder. Huge chunks of raw carrot wouldn't be great to eat, but when finely grated they have a nice texture and add sweetness.

I found this recipe for salad that Romans would make, and they crush the vegetables in a mortar. I've tried this and it actually tenderizes the vegetables and makes them more enjoyable to eat too.

>> No.16477419

I know OP is just posting bait but you really should eat more salad. It's good for you and it tastes good
