Today we’re discussing the rhetoric around beans’ gassy reputation and the best ways to change public perceptions about them. I dive into a recent New York Times article that pondered how to get people to eat more beans.

If you eat beans regularly and don't eat processed food that destroys your digestive system, flatulence will not be a problem.
BIG BEAN ENERGY!!!! 💥💥
Beans are my favorite food. Seriously who doesnt like chili???
My sauerkraut farts are Deadly compared to my bean farts!! Beans are so healthy! And I’m team musical fruit; let’s have some beans with every meal!
Mmm beans
Better than being perpetually constipated
Once your body gets used to eating beans on a regular basis, you no longer produce excess gas.
Also, why do people act like vegans invented eating beans? They've been a staple of traditional diets around the world for thousands of years.
Ok no bean comments, you wanna fork?
When I ate dairy, I could easily clear a room, every time. As a vegan, my farts are stealth. 😎
When macho dudes whine about beans, I simply say, in my best baby-talk voice, "Oh you poor wittle thing, are those beanie-beans too much for your wittle tummy? It's okay, someday you'll gwow big and stwong and you can eat all the beans you want."
Excellent video! Very funny and entertaining!
The chameleon tuba in the intro… did we watch the same Chris Fleming video the other day?

Great job Marielle! A lot of time and research went into this. You nailed it!😊
I think that every vegan should try making their own homemade slow baked beans in the oven. Very easy to do.
Oh!…and so true about those NYT article limits.
🙄 I just gave up on it..
Yes, since I went veggie I pop beanos like tic tacs.
Yo I'm having beans tonight
The beans cost me my job😢😢😢
55lbs of chicken!!!!! Noooooo
That cauliflower joke😂😂😂😂😂
The number one way to get me to eat beans is to convince me that there are no negative health consequences to eating them.
I ❤ beans of all kinds. Kidney, navy, canellini etc.
Sometimes the only side we're taught about something, is the ignorant side. Adulthood requires self further learning, which includes investigating the prejudices given to us. Thank you for being a great public example of this! 👏
"How to Make a Nation of Meat Eaters Crave the Humble Bean?"
Cooking them beans with smoked ham hocks, onion and jalapeños would do the trick.
I liked this very much. Loved the fact that you poked fun at how big biz “won’t” talk about animal suffering. Keep up the good work. 🙏
Great video thanks
Team magical all the way! Great video, always entertaining and so well produced. your channel deserves more subs and attention!
Chickpeas: the gateway bean 😂
Magical all the way baby!!!

It was always “Magical” for me growing up. You should look at Tom Scott’s video on ‘Jingle Bells Batman smells’ if you haven’t seen it already, where he breaks down the different versions of the rhyme and who uses them. It’s really interesting!
The more beans I eat and I’m totally plant based so I eat a good amount of beans the less gas overall I seem to get.
Haha holly fuck that bit at 3:17 about animal suffering was too real. I was literally just thinking that, nailed it! too funny.
fried cashew nut tasty for me
I eat 200-225 grams of beans/lentils every day (that is dry/pre-cooked weight btw). 65cm waist at 6ft 30yo male.
Beans are super prominent in all sorts of French food! Can't speak on Irish or German
I’m team “ good for your heart” The “toot” word is child’s play.
I’m enjoying satirically forkable you.
soaking beans for 24 hours or there about greatly reduces the amount of tuba and horn in your concerto.
Nobody has ever said "musical fruit". Fake news.
As a kid I didn't eat much fiber, no legumes at all, yet girls in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL wrote in their burn book that I farted a lot 💀. I don't notice much difference in gas now that I'm vegan but maybe I'm used to it by now! Lol
For meat eaters, I would emphasize beans' affordability and convenience. I hear a lot of people say that eating healthily is too expensive so they don't even try. (Obviously beans are not even on their radar.) Imo beans don't taste that great, but they are very inoffensive, and easy to use in many dishes. Perhaps we should target beans towards picky eaters, since they tend to like starchy foods.
When people talk shit about my bean filled meals I clap back by saying "if beans make you fart that much your diet must really suck" cuz it's sorta true
You are doing amazing work 🫘🫘🫘
8:16, your farts sound like Chameleon!?
Magical
there is a limit though
if it gets to the point where you're having to PFFFFT every 20 minutes or so, after a few hours your pants are gonna stink trust me they will
take a piece of fabric and spray it with pooey air every 20 minutes, doesnt take long for the fabric to become smelly. that's just physics, dont get angry with me i dont make the rules
maybe you are ignorant cause you never smelt the seat of your pants (smell the inside, not the outside, but the outside may smell too if the pants are thin)
you can compensate by wearing 2 layers of underpands then it wont stink up your regular pants so much. or you can change undies twice per day.
but the best solution is to just not have so much venting in the first place
oh and the smell, if you're around others forget about it
Beans should be marketed in all their forms. Personally, I hate the texture of whole beans. It's grainy, sandy, and overall disgusting. And I'm middle eastern, so it's not lack of exposure. No amount of sauce or seasoning can get rid of the texture. However, falafel is great, and foul medames can be edible if seasoned well (hummus still tastes disgusting). I'll probably never be a fan of actual beans, but mush them up a little and they're tolerable.
In my family we all have different diet types, but we all love beans to death. It took longer for certain folks but eventually they tried em once and it was over xD Let me tell you fighting over beans and Brussel sprouts between 6+ people is a blessing and a curse
