Americans are afraid of farting but everyone else knows this is the secret to a long life.
Toot toot I m centuries old at this point.
Exactly this. My significant other avoids all beans due to the fear of flatulence
Tell them how they can blow up balloons if they fart into it the correct way. That changed my fiancés mind and now she can’t stop farting. She wears roller blades a lot more now.
Too funny lol
There is an actual study disproving that myth (that beans increase flatulence).
The issue is that so few are used to actually eating enough fiber, that they might have a temporary increase in gas when they introduce more for the first time.
Very informative thank you for the reply
My SO hated me eating beans until I discovered that walmart sells a generic bean-o for far less than the name brand. Your loved ones dont have to suffer that fate
What’s Beano? The only Beano I know is this weird ass British comic book that my grandma gave me.
It's a pill that has an enzyme in it that breaks down the complex carbs in beans and veggies so that you can fully digest them without getting the farts.
Wow that's wild. Had no idea that existed. Very cool!
