What's wrong with iceberg lettuce? I used to feed it once or twice a week when I was underfeeding my growing boys and trying to make them grow slower and not pyramid. It was a very small part of a varied diet. I figured it had water and fiber, but very little nutrition, so it was better, at least in my mind, than totally skipping a day. My thinking was that they'd get a full belly and not feel so hungry, but yet not get a whole lot of growth inducing nutrition.
Believe me, I know better now, but back then the word was all about too much food and protein causing pyramiding.
So, other than having almost no nutritional value, is there anything else wrong with iceberg lettuce?
I've wondered about this for many years as so many people are vehemently opposed to iceberg, but I found it quite useful. I understand that a tortoise wouldn't stay healthy for very long if that's all they ate, but what's wrong with a little mixed in once and a while, just for bulk?
