Exactly!!! My diet is much more interesting now, as well as being higher in fiber. :-)
IMHO fiber is what makes you feel "full" on less food and fewer calories!

Huh. My monotonous diet of mac & cheese, ramen noodles, chicken nuggets, and french fries was how I got fat. Now I've got more variety with all the different kinds of meat and vegetables.
I think I read somewhere there's something in having smaller portions of more complex flavors that makes you feel full faster than a big dish of all the same flavor. It tricks the brain somehow.

<rollse eyes> I don't eat when I'm bored. I play video games and troll usenet. ;-)
Oh! You never troll usenet right? <smirk>
I also do some digital art.

You missed that?

Looks like it's time to do more research then, thanks! Due to the starch (and fart factor), I'd never been much of a bean eater... even tho' I like them.
Black soy beans lack the starch (soups made with them won't get thick) and the oligosaccharides (complex sugars that intestinal flora digest and convert part of to gases) that cause the tuba-like expressions.
<giggles> They are still high in fiber tho', but you are right. They are not producing a significant amount of gas.

How so? THAT I can use!
Fiber removes cholesterol from your digestive system, it says here on the bean box.
The best and most nutritional diet for any organism consists of VARIETY!
Um - what? The vast majority of critters on this planet have either very limited or completely restricted food sources. Everything from a flea to a blue whale contradicts your assertion.
That would have to be soluble fiber then? Kinda like Oat Bran?
All fiber is nature's little whiskbroom...

Let's all eat a tree. Does that count?
It would, Cellulose, you know. But be careful you don't offend your friends afterward.
I can see little critters running out of the woods holding their noses, whining about plagues and pestilence. Um, in like, squirrel and chipmunk and all...

And you think that reality has anything to do with theoretical nutrition? Jeez... What if everybody thought like that?

You can say anything you want. Expect someone to be offended, though. Imagine that.

So, what would y'all suggest we "limit" our diets to as a single food product? Might save us all on our grocery bills.
