Perhaps Christianity isn't right for you, then. You need a more veg-like savior. Try looking into Schiavoism.

No, he just has to try Catholicism. I would assume transubstantiated long pig is protein-rich.

We are all drinking from the highball glass of ideology.
As an actual serious response to this there's a variety of romaine grown in China called a choy or Taiwan Lettuce which has very very good flavor raw, but I'm particularly fond of stir frying it with garlic and oyster sauce. It's a magnificent green that you should all look out for.

Yes, if your idea of lettuce is iceburg, then you need to expand your palate.

I was gonna have a serious answer, saying Vietnamese cuisine uses lettuce, like romaine, but then I realized you could still replace it with a crap ton of herb-y leaves which are way more interesting in flavor profile.

(I love romaine, it is a good delivery system for banh xeo and great chopped into shreds in vermicelli bowls.)

Lettuces are good for lots of things! They're bright and fresh without bringing acid to the party, they can add moisture without liquid, and some are nice for mechanical reasons like romaine boats or bibb wrappings.

It makes a nice chilled soup too, sometimes with peas and mint, if it's the texture you don't like. Get a kind of lettuce that has a nice grass-y flavour, like a cos lettuce, round lettuce or Little Gem to make soup with.

This is the best use of lettuce. And celery. Both of which are very much crunchy water. Spinach is the vastly superior leaf veggie, but I prefer lettuce in mixed salads and spinach on it's own, as well as lettuce on most sandwiches. I especially like iceberg as a filling for wraps since it helps give a bunch of volume to keep your wrap from falling apart while still being low-cal and not getting in the way of the flavors of the wrap.
