People already eat fucking tons of beans. Wtf is this non-article?
In the US, they're mostly fed to animals, though a chunk get turned into diesel
There's even anti-bean propaganda in the Form of "Mexican food gives you the runs". America hates beans.

I'd secondarily also think the joke was about greasy food. Either way, not the beans.
I think that holds internationally, but the USA eats a massive amount of meat and less beans comparatively.
