How important to your diet is that lettuce? Do you want to get fat eating bread all the time or can you stick your burger on that lettuce leaf? Done.

Not really. Lettuce has virtually zero nutritional value.

Which is a benefit in itself, it adds texture and is inoffensively flavoured (hell on the right day or if I haven't drank enough water yet it can taste great). All without adding many calories to the meal. It's also a much cheaper alternative than ozempic for those of us who don't have the consistent willpower to not treat ourselves to more food when we're hungry even if we know we have all the calories we need.

You will never lose weight by eating more calories. If you're going to consume extra calories, there are much more nutritious things than lettuce.

People are allowed to eat foods that make them happy. It's OK.

And in this context: On a worldly scale of foods that may be useful to demonize, eating some leafy greens like lettuce constitutes approximately nothing.

Why do you choose to behave in the way that you demonstrate? What accomplishments do you wish to achieve, here? What sorts of changes might to seek to impart?

You are much more likely to gain weight if you eat biscuits until you feel full versus eating lettuce to feel full. I.e. if you eat the same volume of BLT vs bacon sandwhich without the lettuce and tommato you will have consumed less calories with the one that is less calorie dense.
