I don't think a lettuce plant is being tortured, but I do think it is hurt when a leaf is removed. I don't think cows that are humanely slaughtered are tortured, either.
I feel similarly about killing and eating animals. In moderation, and done with care and respect, it is appropriate for some people.
I know the feeling.
