How come nuts and beans don't get more attention as health foods?

[O RLY?]

I know fruits and vegetables are important but so are nuts and beans. They rarely seem to get attention.

Agreed, if you came to my house you'd get loads, my dad says you might even end up with a 'bean block' (he's funny).
I'm not a veggie but not a day goes by without me having my nuts and beans. Tonight for instance I'm having chicken casserole with cannellini,flageolet and adzuki beans in it. Roasted sweet potato on the side.Scrummy.
And with my 2 brazil nuts a week and a ton more of any others (especially cashews and pistachios from LIDL-dead cheap) then I'm getting in all that protein and minerals too. What a winner.

People regard beans as bland and flatulence producing-too lazy to learn how to cook. While many people do have nut allergies, I think they are popular, but in much greater quantities than recommended.

they should but some people are allergy to them so maybe thats why

that's true, but A LOT of people are allergic to nuts and beans. You are right, they are healthy...but its one of the most common allergens.
