Eating Beans

I read an article that listed nine reasons people should eat more beans. They are:

• Beans pack a lot of fiber
• Beans are good for digestion
• Beans can help regulate blood sugar
• Beans can help lower cholesterol
• Beans are good for your heart
• Beans can keep weight in check
• Beans are high in iron
• Beans are a good source of B vitamins
• They may reduce cancer risk

I have a much smaller list on why I don't fix beans very often:

• Boys

Whoever wrote that article has obviously never taken a long road trip with my son. I remember times when traveling on vacation that the gas passed by that child was so noxious it made our eyes water!
