Why are some people so afraid of beans? Why are 4,700 people agreeing that just eating rice is a good tip? Thousands of years of civilization and we have circled all the way back to poor people surviving on meager rice rations.

get a rice cooker
Yah but you also have to buy fresh cilantro and a lime to make it
They even make portable ones, no excuse
rice and beans together combine a full protein. you can live off of that, permanently. it wont be very fun after a while but technically speaking.
eat more beans
Wtf I didn’t know that was a full protein. That’s fire. I have been eating the three sisters to get a full protein and though I have no intention to stop doing this it is nice to worry less considering the amount of beans and rice I eat.

A huge part of South America already does lol
My first exposure to beans were nasty af baked beans at school and I thought I hated beans for almost two decades.
I think that actually might explain a lot of weird food tastes of yankees - their parents don’t have time to cook lots of different dishes, so they tend to have the same dozen or so meals on rotation until school. Then they get to school and it’s prison food, and that’s their first exposure to a new food, and it sticks in their brain until they have a really good experience to counteract it.
i think the advent and marketing of mass produced canned food has a lot of blame here, so many people i know grew up thinking “canned X heated up in a pot/microwave” was just what X tasted like
That was me with beets and mushrooms as a kid. Microwaved, canned, flavourless, rubbery garbage. Then I had a slice of pizza with mushroom on it and realized what a mushroom could taste like. Still took me until I was like 17+ to realize my parents can’t cook.
It’s even possible to make canned stuff taste really good, but you have to put the work in. Rinse a can of beans and a can of corn and throw that in a frying pan with oil, drain a can of tomatoes and add them later when the beans and corn are nice and seared, and then simmer with chili flakes. Yim yum.
No one puts the work in. I know it’s one of my Special Interests so I try to be sympathetic towards people who don’t like cooking as much as I do, but you get a tasty treat at the end! It’s literally the best kind of chore, one that is literally always rewarding! I don’t get it.

They just… dump the canned beans in straight from the can, starch goo and all.
It really has to be some psyop by food companies to get people to avoid fiber. They are trying to induce diabetes to as a way to increase sales of junk food and statin drugs.
I think fiber is going to be the next health food craze, but not in a good way like eating foods that already have fiber. They’re going to start adding waste product fiber to junk foods to raise the price like they do with whey protein.
Whey protein used to be either thrown away or used in pet food/animal feed and now they can use it to make a tiny packet of $3 protein chips or a $5 brownie.
