You are avoiding the point.

Could you normally keep a head of lettuce fresh/alive for 3 weeks if
just wrapped in cellophane?

Most cut lettuce heads keep for a week, max, if we don't consume them
and by the end of the week they are beginning to get wilted.

Not so the ones with roots attached!

Not all of us eat like pigs.

I only cook for two people and both of us only eat 1 to 2 meals per day.

Usually two, but not always.
