For what they charge per ounce that can add up quickly.

But why bother... for about the same price (usually less) go to a
diner and be served a salad... and they will be happy to prepare a
salad to include/omit whatever... places like Friendly's, IHOP, and
the like will custom prepare salads... they'll even prepare salads to
go.
Anyway this is all moot, LJB has never said what she DOES want in her
salad (her idea of a salad is a ten scoop ice cream sundae with ALL
the toppings and a mountain of whipped cream, extra sprinkles too). I
think she's a psychopathic attention hog... people who constantly tell
everyone at every opportunity how they don't eat this or that and have
tons of allergies are typically those who eat anything and
EVERYTHING... they don't get to weigh 300 pounds by being picky eaters
and slouches at the trough.
