Marie - One could question what 'very tasty' means in this context, 
but if the lettuce is getting too much nitrogen and not enough 
sunlight, for example, as occurs in 4 season lettuce production, the 
lettuce can 'look good,' 'taste good,' and be harmful to both 
children and elders. High nitrate lettuce is still not monitored for 
in the US food systems, as far as I know, but has been screened in 
Europe for years.

Applying too much manure-based immature compost is sure way to get 
this problem.
