Salad is disturbance in main course (micro blog)

My parents always forced me to eat salad along my meal. I really don’t understand why.

They say it’s good for health.

But salad vegetables are very low on nutrition.

In fact, four of the five lowest-ranking foods are salad ingredients: cucumbers, radishes, lettuce and celery.

Ok let’s keep the nutritional value on the side. Salad vegetables don’t even do justice to the price they come for. Cucumber is presently priced at ₹40/kg while being extremely low on nutrition. You can buy 1 kg potato and 1 kg onion using the same amount.

Salad’s main role was to add crunch to the meal. But now households have come to believe it to be an essential part of the meal, which it is not.

Paying that price just to add crunch to my meal doesn’t seem right to me.

Salad is just a disturbance on the main course.

So next time let cucumber be and focus on the biryani.
