Why beans?
Discussion
It's part of the religion.
I find it super funny when mainstream eaters
- make claims about vegetables being good without scientific evidence
- ignore plant toxins
- use epidemiology as evidence
- repeat debunked arguments
- make empty statements with no arguments
- accuse others of belonging to "religion"
There's a food religion but carnivore isn't one.
i thought plants made fruits to be eaten so we spread the seeds... i guess eating beans would be eating the seed itself which would destroy the seed?
whereas eating apple or watermelon, we will likely spit the seed out.
Spot on regarding destroying the seed.
Plants "want" *something* to eat their fruit but that doesn't mean it should be humans. Some fruits are literally deadly to humans but birds can eat them just fine.
There's a whole great talk about it: https://youtu.be/j1cqNDDG4aA
also, where do sweet potatoes fall in this?
I eat a lot of sweet potatoes (1/day) and I always heard that they are superfoods.
microwaved sweet potato with butter, salt, pepper is my favorite "unprocessed" thing to eat.
are they as bad as beans?
They definitely do contain some toxins just as other parts of plants. Whether they are less bad than beans I'm not sure. But I think they are less bad than regular potatoes.
FTR, I ate a bunch of regular potatoes daily. When I got rid of them and other plants, my health improved.

They contain chemicals which the plant uses to defend itself against predators since it can't run away.

full of sugar (starches) and inflammatory to most people unless cooked to death.
