If you put a paper towel at the base of the container and one on top of the lettuce, it will last for several weeks.
I buy this type, and cut off the root, and never have to throw any of it away.

And what about all the fruit and vegetables our own growers produce? Why are they not in the Supermarkets and labled Product of Australia???
After the Berry alert, all of a sudden our local IGA has fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries for sale. All from growers in our neighborhood, labled with the name and address of the growers.
Do we have to boycot all those imported goods before our own producers will be recognised as having the cleanest and healthiest food for us?

The answer to that last question is YES YES and YES

Toxic Tuna
My father told me about the testing of nuclear explosives by the French in the area of Muraroa Atoll. Since then our family has avoided fish as part of our diet.
We have managed to survive up to this day.
Leaked report raised fears of radioactive tsunami if Mururoa Atoll in French Polynesia collapses
A leaked report has raised new fears that Mururoa Atoll, the site of French nuclear testing in the Pacific, is in danger of collapsing. The French government, since 2010, has kept secret that Mururoa Atoll, the site of French nuclear testing in the Pacific, is in danger of collapsing, according to Mururoa e Tatou (MET), the Nuclear Association in French Polynesia.

Don't forget the Americans. They detonated heaps of bombs in the sea on one of the islands.
I think far more than the French.

I remember a few years ago one of the TV channels had a segment of a Tuna Fishery and Processing plant. I'm not sure if it was in SA or WA, but the young man was showing all those huge enclosures where they grew their own Tuna and how it all was processed.
Now I wonder, what happened to our own Fisheries and Procssing Plants???
We have oceans all around us, we should not have to relay on foreign fish.
