    I’m unemployed and involuntarily vegan for health reasons. Dried mixed beans, brown rice, and frozen vegetables are keeping me alive.

        Doesn’t the body get used to eating that many beans? Like, Mexicans eat them all the time. Also I eat them as often as I can and I don’t think they really affect me that much.

          I like to think it has more to do with the dried or dehydrated foods suddenly becoming rehydrated causing a mix of bacterial bloom within the previously barren food and difficulty digesting/passing the food resulting in the carbohydrate fermentation and flatulence as a means of pushing it through, but idk I’m not a butt engineer.

            I soak all my own beans and I don’t have the issue. As someone else said, it may have to do with our individual gut flora or something.

              I heard, from John Ralston Saul of all people, that the trick is to change the water.

                I’ve heard the same thing. I always drain and rinse my beans well, and I never have any complaints of gassiness.

        I’ve been like this for months. I’m miserable. I’m a vegetarian because I hate animals. I have high blood pressure so I cut out animal fat and booze.

          If you hate animals, I don’t think you’re doing this right.

          Cook mushrooms in rice or beans. Add wallnuts. Supposedly walnut and no other but has shown to help lower blood pressure.

          The moment you stop eating meat you’ll notice just how hard society wants you to chew on dead animals. Your friends, your family, the TV commercials, the radio. They never talk about a juicy mushroom taco. It just Burger this and pork that everywhere you go. That’s what I mean by brutal. And its always an inconvenience for the cook to not add dead animal or smear your food with animal milk products.

            Smear? What milk products are you thinking of? What came to my mind was cheese (which you could call metan tofu, I suppose…), but I would usually expect cheese to be sprinkled, not smeared.

            I love mushroom derived flavors, but eating actual mushrooms, it’s always about texture never the taste
