There isn't much nutrition in lettuce, so not much
reason to cook it. And you'd lose the crispness
which is just about the only reason to eat lettuce.

On the other hand, I've heard that in China people
rarely eat any vegetables raw. The idea of eating
a raw salad is abhorrent, because of the widespread
use of "night soil" as fertilizer.
