In updating the nutrition section the Nutrition Almanac (John D. Kirschmann & Lavon J. Dunne) was used as the reference source. There was a 300% discrepency between the original article and the almanac with regards to fiber (1.2 grams vs. 0.4 grams). I opted to use a single reference source and updated the article accordingly (due in no small part to the original post being a stub). (edit by user bmolai)

[edit] Rename to 'cos'?

Why is this article 'romaine' when cos appears to be the more dominant (and certainly older) term? (cos = c. 1700, romaine = c. 1885) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Natebailey (talk • contribs) 07:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

While where I am in Australia 'cos' is the common term, Google says 'romaine' is overwhelmingly more common. 143.92.3.8 (talk) 02:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
