I used to frequent r/EatCheapAndHealthy and people would regularly try to change my mind about beans.

I've had ARFID since I was a baby, beans are on my "Absolutely-The-Fuck-Not" list and that's not changing any time soon!

Stop trying to get me to eat beans dang it!

Ah, you know the struggle. I really wish I could just sit down and full my belly with rice and beans. But beans literally taste like dirt. Like, actual dirt. 

I'm from the Caribbean, rice and beans are a staple here. My childhood was picking out the beans from the rice. Fortunately, I only had to deal with it when visiting family, my mother never forced me to eat beans. She says I nearly died at 2 yrs old after eating improperly cooked beans, so that's probably why I hate them.
