Is there really a need for this that beano, a change in diet or simply getting out regularly and exercising and 'letting off STEAM' wouldn't solve?

[Salty]

I sometimes wonder how often people fart and nobody knows it. Most of my farts don't smell bad so I just let them out slowly so they don't make noise... scares me at the gym if I have to since I have my headphones in and can't hear if they go off loud or not.
A female friend explained to me that girls don't fart... and honestly I rarely have ever heard a girl fart... I kind of wonder if they just are more like me in that they do it without letting anyone notice... or if they just always blame it on guys near by... or just don't get gassy.

[Spliffdaddy]

dude.

girls for sure fart.

probably more than guys.

i know these things.

[Mastrap]

Anybody who says girls don't fart has never been married. Girls don't fart before they have an engagement ring. After that, all bets are off.

[Salty]

so the release valve is in the finger then!

Each filter will last from several weeks to several months depending on the frequency of use and laundering.

I guess they only last "several weeks" if you don't launder them......................

So true!
Except my ex was more than willing to let them rip while we were still in the courting stage.

I can attest to that.

[Albert Pujols]

The average adult farts about 18 times a day. That being said, my buddies fart about 30 times a day. Solid ones too, and damn they're rank/pungent. One of my friends farts so much I suggested he make a flatulogram. He then told his sister to make one as she passes gas far more often than he does.

Sometimes it goes through the honeymoon, but eventually there's a "level of comfort" between the two of you that lets her relax. A kind-hearted girl will at least try not to do it around you, and you should do the same for her.

Salty, some "ladies" insist that they don't pass gas. But they sometimes suffer from "the vapors." Think Scarlet OHarra. Yep, that's what they called it. And they often bustled off away from everyone else so when they eventually did pass it, nobody (who would notice or be offended by it) was around.

On Beano: most humans lack the specific enzymes to properly digest some forms of cellulose. It's not a dysfunction really, we just like foods we aren't properly equipped to digest properly. We're built to be omnivores and not depend on cellulose-based foods for much of our caloric intake, so we often just lack that enzyme. That enzyme is Beano's active ingredient. It works.

[Doofy]

Actually, girls fart far less than blokes. This is because they bottle it all up and it comes out as "nagging".

Yes. Really, it's how we developed. We started as herbivores and a LONG time ago we stumbled on meat as a much better and more compact source of calories. Of course I do not mean "we" in terms of modern humans.

Here's one resource that supports my point, and here's another (focus at the end, with the title "On the term "omnivore," and misuse of quotes"), and yet another. To be fair, the term "omnivore" is a relatively amorphous term in common usage. I, and many scientists, use the term as in "able to effectively and efficiently consume foods from a broad variety of sources and trophic levels." A good point to make here is one from my first link: omnivores are typically opportunistic eaters, capitalizing on what's available to maintain caloric intake. I use the term to mean that we developed a capability to capitalize on a wide variety of foods at the expense of being particulary good at digesting some of them. I should also point out that this move toward opportunistic omnivorism occurred relatively recently in our developmental past and it's clear our ancestors were primarily or even exclusively herbivores/frutivores; changing our ability to accomodate meat was a major developmental milestone.

I don't think we were designed to be herbivores, because I don't know about you, but I have canine teeth which are designed to rip meat.

Go live on raw meat which you eat straight from the cow (i.e. without the use of tools) for a month and you'll figure it out.

[cybergoober]

So now we're not allowed to use tools?

Also, I don't know if you were implying it but I wasn't suggesting that I think we are carnivores.

If you're a proper omnivore you shouldn't need tools. Or Fire.
You have "canine teeth designed to rip meat", so go use them.

For several years, I ate a great deal of raw, and mosty raw, meat (beef mostly). After a while, the body adjusts to deal with it. I stopped doing it because it really freaked some people out.

Key phrase there. If we were proper omnivores, there'd be no adjustment time.

It just takes time to get back to the way we (humans) once were.

"Omnivores" and "Herbivores" are just names that humans invented.

Stop thinking in black and white and realize that instead of dropping ourselves in neat little categories that we muther****ing flew to the moon and sent a muther****ing satellite to Jupiter.

The point i'm trying to make is that humans are beyond being classified by what we digest.
