    Again, olives are all the same species. It’s reasonable to not like olives. (I don’t much like them either, I prefer nut oils)

    Legumes are not all the same species, I think it’s reasonable to try other species.

    And I just think you might be missing out. It’s sad when people don’t try foods they might like because they think they don’t.

      Again, why does this matter to you? Why do you care so much about what a stranger chooses to do? Am I hurting anyone? Am I being highly immoral? What is the deal here?

        Well like I said, I thought I disliked beans most of my life. I was missing out. All those wasted years!

        I care about strangers. That’s all.

          I care about strangers. That’s all.

          Again- Am I hurting anyone? Am I doing anything immoral? Am I even risking my health?

          If you cared about me, maybe you’d have stopped haranguing me about this when I explained to you that I found it rude.

            I think you’re hurting yourself by depriving yourself of an opportunity for delicious food.

            Also it’s an online conversation, you can disengage whenever you want. It’s not like I’m a door-to-door evangelist trying to preach the glory of beans.

              Bro, if you start a quarterly newsletter preaching the glory of beans, I’m in.

                  I’m pretty sure that doesn’t hurt me since I’m okay with that.

                  And I’m also pretty sure “eat different types of beans until you find a type you like” is not something most doctors would consider sound medical advice.

                  So I don’t think I’m hurting myself.

                  If anything, the person who sounds hurt here is you, because I am insulting the mighty bean.

                    I’m hurt because I wasted so many years not eating something delicious.

                    I just want to save others from the same fate!
