Again, I am NOT a judge and have no experience in this arena - so, should probably shut up... But, when I watch the comps on television, it always seems to me that the "greens" are a placeholder, something to take up space, a nod to convention, whatever. They do not make the box look more inviting to me as a guy who wants some good food. Now, if someone could make the greens "do" something... I am all for it. But as they sit (in my admittedly limited view) they do not attract and, frankly, distract for me. I'd like to see what you do with the meat or other "garnishes" to make an attractive "box".

Amen to getting rid of the "weeds in the box."  I wish more would do it.

  Another point to having the greens is that depending on the submission, many times you do not have a full box of meat.  It's nice to be able to give the meat a placeholder, something to hold them in the box and frame them.
