There are several things with lettuce:
1. Water. Large quantity of water. That does nothing to you.
2. Taste. You are addicted to the specific taste of lettuce, and also to variety of tastes itself. E.g. lettuce + potato + meat + sour cream + salt + sugar + + + . You do not naturally need that mix of tastes, it is an artificial addiction.
3. Fiber. Quite a bit of fiber. It satisfies your addiction to feeling your stomach and guts stuffed with a scratchy thing like fiber. You could eat meat till you explode and would not satisfy this need, because it does not stuff the same way and does not scratch at all. This is an addiction, not natural, you can get rid of it. I have.
Then we have to look into the two types of fiber:
4. Insoluble fiber. Perhaps half is insoluble in lettuce. On top of satisfying the above general fiber addiction it gives a less directly felt negative impact of bloating, generally mechanically slightly interferes with normal function of guts which you do not feel, and goes out.
5. Soluble fiber. Another half. After giving the above satisfaction, it is digested by the “good” bacteria in your guts. Those produce bloating, and push sugar and lactic acid into your blood.
6. Sugar. Miniscule amounts from lettuce. So this does not satisfy your sugar addiction. But even that is not needed in you. It is like miniscule amounts of caffeine, nicotine or cocaine do nothing to those addicts. But larger amounts do. You are just so used to it that you do not know what you feel. Try excessive large amount like half a large jar of sweet jam at once with some water. For a moment you will feel energized and satisfied with perhaps even the top of your head getting hot.
Your body does not need any external sugar whatsoever. Any amount is interference making you high and doing much damage in all cells. The only blood sugar you need is the one that your liver produces from nothing in the exact time, amount and type that is needed.
7. Lactic acid. It is pure poison. Interferes with function of your muscle. Gathers in the ones that are less used, and gives pain when they do get eventually used. Not eating plants, I don’t have this at all in my body. I can sit on sofa for months, then go play hardline basketball in a full size court, and I will feel zero numbness in my muscles afterwards.
Not all narcotics work the same. Fiber is pure mechanical as described. Sugar – described. Nicotine gives you temporary dizziness and then quite soon recovery that then makes you feel fresh and generally satisfied. Caffeine – sort of energy feeling through rushing your heart. Cocaine in small amounts is similar to caffeine but not so heavy on the heart, and large amounts I don’t know.
All of them have negative impacts.
Alkaloids like nicotine, caffeine and cocaine could kill you at once in case of overdose, but hardly do anything in small amounts in the long run.
Fibers won’t kill you on overdose, but keep you forever mildly sick with basically everything.
Sugar won’t kill you at once, but in whatever small regular amounts makes you forever sick and eventually gives cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
Any vitamins and minerals that might be there in lettuce are the same and better in meat.
So lettuce is pure poison and narcotics. None of this is food. Food is the animal fat and animal protein.
