the bean can

in settling for bed
i opened the cupboard
for a cookie or two

but no treats were found
only a can of
great northern beans

how much protein
is in a serving of beans?

7 grams. but get this,
on the can itself was the
vegetarian food pyramid

it was quite unlike anything
i had ever seen
and it read

eat your beans
drink your booze
all in good health

no joke.
go peep the pyramid
and let's go vegetarian tonight.

Where can I get a can of beans like that?

whole foods, of course. ha. it really did take me back - a food pyramid with alcohol in the middle, not in the rarely top of the triangle...hell yeah to hippie bean chompers.
