Yes everyone smirks when I say I live on a diet of chilli beans (1 tin a day) but flattus doesn't seem to be an issue for me, at least. [raving about myself] People have been incredulous that I seem happy eating a tin of beans a day but my body seems to have adjusted to them and I get anxious if I go without that tin of beans.

Once you eat them on a regular basis, you gut biome knows how to process them. If you never eat beans, yes you might explode like a balloon.
I was born in the 50s, the youngest of 10 in a small farming town in California. Dad was a truck driver, hauling crops from the farms to the canneries, and livestock to the slaughter houses. We always had several 100 lbs bags of beans and rice in our pantry that 'fell off' the trucks. The beans were usually cooked with tomatoes and onions that came from our garden added, and sometimes ground beef and chili. Special occasions we had cornbread to go with the beans.

sounds damn good - cornbread and beans. I'm eating my plate of beans now (at the PC) on a bed of rice, carrot and cheese. I'm a 50's man too. I realise I'm a very boring person but I think we've gone silly with our eating habits namely spending hours to prepare something that disappears down the gullet in a few seconds and makes a mountain of dishes. My missus cooks nice food but oh what a mess in the kitchen!

"The body's getting used to beans, finally catching up. Getting the message that, dude, all I'm giving you is beans, so you better help out."
That cracked me up!
"I had the thought that the grocery store represents the full spectrum of human emotions, and that by reducing what I buy from the store, I reduced my ability to feel those emotions."
That is oddly profound to me.
This was a really entertaining video. Thanks vaxhole!
