    I make black bean based veggie patties; not because I’m a vegetarian, but because a can of black beans is cheap. I call them struggle burgers. I can’t wait to be demonized for buying fucking beans. Fuck this timeline.

        That lucky bastard! Lucky, lucky, lucky bastard.

        I DREAM of the day I can revel in canned beans! No soaking! No spices! No massive pot!

        lucky, lucky, lucky bastard

        You are correct, they are. Wet beans saves me time from having to soak them. Lentils are they only ones I buy dry because they cook fast without soaking.

        Protein, plus fiber, plus complex carbohydrates. What’s not to love? Plus it makes a smaller environmental impact compared to farming poultry or larger animals. It was mind blowing to hear rags like the WSJ demonize the younger generation for eating avocado toast; it’s a fucking cheap meal. Avocados were like $1 a pop and are a good source of fiber and health fat. I can’t wait for rags like the WSJ to start publishing articles like, “How dare the poors waste money on eating!”

          They are great. I was going to make a bean stew yesterday but this article made me go buy a roast chicken just to spite them. Beans are for tonight!

          Yeah, avocados imported into Canada are expensive but if they grow near you I can see them being stupid cheap.
