    Thanks again but no need for an apology. It's quite okay with me if you
    decide not to respond to my messages, Samantha.

    In any case, look it up yourself if you don't believe the USDA nutrient
    database that
    I quoted here. Here again is the data: 

    --
Turkey, fryer-roasters, breast, meat only, cooked, roasted
Nutrient Units  Value per 100 grams of edible portion   
Water  g 68.40 
Energy  kcal 135   
Energy  kj 565   
Protein  g 30.06
Total lipid (fat)  g 0.74
Ash  g 1.14
Carbohydrate, by difference  g 0.00 0

Subtracting water from lean cooked turkey breast leaves a solid food
containing 95% protein. That is a fact derived from laboratory analysis of
turkey breast. It is not an opinion. Calculated the same way, you'll find
that even the most protein-rich beans and greens contain at best half as
much protein.
If you think these ideas are "a bit over the top" then, well, that's what
you think and everyone is entitled to think what they please. Personally I
try very hard to keep my thoughts in harmony with the facts.
