User blog:Sharko Keito/Opinion On Beans

I like beans a lot. Beans are great and if you don't like beans then you're probably not a very good person. I'll give you some facts about why beans are amazing.


 * A bean is a seed of one of several genera of the flowering plant family Fabaceae, which are used for human or animal food.


 * January 6th is National Bean Day which also falls on the day in which geneticist, Gregor Mendel, who famously used bean and pea plants to test his theories on inheritance died in 1884.


 * Beans have been cultivated by humans for 6,000 years.


 * In ancient Greece, minor public officials were elected by putting one white bean with a load of black beans inside a “bean machine.” Whoever picked the white bean got the job.


 * In the 1980’s an archaeologist working in New Mexico came upon a clay pot sealed with pine tar containing bean seeds that were 1,500 years old…and they grew!


 * Beans can be made into burgers, cakes, drinks, pies, fudge, muffins, jewelry, furniture (bean-bag chairs!), toys, and musical instruments.


 * The world’s largest bean pods can grow up to 5 feet long.

I hope I was able to change your opinion on beans, and if I wasn't then you're beyond help.
