Gorillas metabolize plants differently than we do, so this is a little misleading.

Same lmao. N explaining how eating a lot of lentils won't make u fart if ur gut microbiome has adjusted to it (I can confirm that my farting frequency isn't abnormal despite eating A LOT of lentils n beans).

Cool, got it. Beans are legumes, but so are lots of other things.
