If by civil you mean healthier I agree. The acid and roughage play digestive moving those blocks of cheese, meat and assorted saturated fats along. I don't know if salad (at the end) was ever proven beneficial but based on my experience I know it was/is. As well, just knowing it was coming inspired us to leave room and eat a bit less of the heavier mains.
