One of the underappreciated joys in life is ripping a good fart. I take full credit never trying to blame it on the dogma. I consider myself blessed. I enjoy black bean soup so much I also consider it a beverage. Tonight at dinner I drank my soup so fast I choked a bit and accidentally sneezed black beans all over my family. This was the biggest embarassment I suffered all week.
I actually meant dogma as in "a settled or established opinion, belief, or principle" -- that is, the common notion that eating beans results in flatulence. That doesn't seem to be true for me most of the time, perhaps because beans are a usual staple of my diet. Or perhaps it really
is karma. :tongue:
That said, eating cheese, yogurt, and other fermented dairy products sometimes does give me gas. And speaking of cheese, that's one protein source I neglected to mention. I love cheese, and happily don't gain weight from eating it often (perhaps because I offset that with exercise).
