Re:not as easy as all that (Score 1)

This is where I got my numbers from: A head of lettuce is about a buck. I usually eat half of that in order to feel full = 50 cents. Salad dressing does add a bit to the cost, but I dont use dressing I use a mixture of vinager or oil which the cost is negligible. The time it takes to cut a salad and mix my dressing is fairly short. I would guess it takes me about 2 minutes to pull out the cutting board, get the knife, secure a head of lettuce and finish the job (good for two meals, two days for me). So I exaggerated a bit - 1 minute. Which is still shorter than taking the time to drive to a fast food place and wait in line. The assumption that you dont eat a salad every day is valid, however my lettuce will last at least a week in my fridge. Thats two meals, and I at least eat that amount every week. And if your eating anything while driving you should have your license taken away from you, because you are risking your life and the life of others. A burger isnt worth death.
