    Americans are afraid of farting but everyone else knows this is the secret to a long life.

      Exactly this. My significant other avoids all beans due to the fear of flatulence

        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.

        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.

      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
