it's just comic hyperbole, it's not a reason to reduce a nation of people to tropes -- furthermore the question was framed towards someone who is switching to this diet with past gastro problems, no need for guessing national stereotypical beliefs given that there is sufficient context here to ask the question ; it probably isn't just blind comedy.
- meristohm 3y agoYes, this change is a net increase in my fiber intake, which for most of my life had already been enough, I would guess (breakfast of rolled or steel-cut oats, big salads, beans and tortillas, almost all home-cooked meals with relatively fresh ingredients). I had intended to include a note about farts being less of a problem than one might have thought, but I think I ran out of time.

- Affric 3y agoYou got it in one. Some guy in on HN telling people about his diet. There were no comments. Thought I might start a conversation because I found it interesting. Asked a question that I thought would surely be on the minds of others with an attempt at humour. Kept it short and sweet. People have jumped in and started talking. I would do it again.
