  I’m a scientist. Beans are a fruit, of the musical variety.

    I found a study that disagrees. However the sample size is pretty small

      (Beans are technically seeds, the pod/shell they grow in is the fruit. -botany)

    What happens when you eat them more? As a scientist, that is.

        Moreover, we’ve found significant correlations between the quantity of consumed legumes with the frequency and duration of flatus events. This relationship may be exponential. Further studies are needed to understand the upper bounds.

  The “unemployed” part of his comment suggests he has a low food budget, in which case fruit is a terrible choice. Beans have way more calories per dollar

    It is harvest time for fruit trees in many areas. My area has apple trees and a lot have fallen due to a drought. I can look on the ground within a 100yd radius of my place and probably rustle up a pie’s worth of decent fruits. Further south the paw paws are coming in. And later in the season, walnuts and hickory nuts will come in. I know not everyone is so lucky to live in a forageable area, but you also might be surprised what’s around.

    fallingfruit.org is a fantastic resource if you’re looking for sources of free food. They have mobile apps as well.
