Interesting. Sainsbury's has chicken at 30g and kidney beans at 7g. You can search for nutritional information very easily here:

Wolfram Alpha agrees, for what it's worth:

I wouldn't trust Wikipedia to give correct nutritional information. I've noticed they've been incorrect about this before.



More generally, "I wouldn't trust Wikipedia to give correct $TOPIC information. I've noticed they've been incorrect about this before."

Articles like the one under discussion would be a helluva lot more persuasive if they linked to some resources for their stats. The claims about vegetarianism struck me as clutching at straws just to be contrarian.


To clarify what I meant, for what it's worth, I have personally experienced Wikipedia to be inaccurate with nutritional data, and that's something I've spent a deal of time looking at.
