There are two primary reasons why some people enjoy salad bars
1. There are many fat laden items to choose from.
or
2. My reason. There are far more healthy items such as greens and vegetables to choose from than on the menu.
In the case of lettuce there are only 100 calories per pound. If I tried to eat that much lettuce from a menu the bill would probably be four or five times more.
I will confess though that on rare occasions I will go to an all you can eat restaurant and pig out. Then the Derisiveness is deserved.
