Oh. I forgot about the floaters. I'll have to check that out next time.
Meanwhile, I'm surprised no one has asked why the study was conducted only on men.
My guess is that if they surveyed women, there would be Zero data on farts.

I think this is based on the same study.
I wonder what veg*ns will do when (if?) humans start spreading out into space? They'll have to have methane scrubbers or avoid sources of ignition. (I'm picturing that last image of the Death Star in the original Star Wars movie... "KAAAAA-BLOOEY!!"- and no pesky rebel pilots dropping torpedoes into the exhaust port needed).

Was just reminded that one reason to consume less beef is that cows produce a lot of methane - a a GHG that is a major contributing factor to global warming.
But what about us humans eating less beef and then farting more. Could we be negating the positive effect of eating less beef.

@Lou I've always wondered why domestic cows would be more of a methane source than wild bison, wildebeests, or other bovids? I was also wondering if animals in the deer family expelled methane, but they're somewhat different (although they have multi-chambered stomachs and eat a lot of fibrous food, too)
I never really looked into it because I'd given up meat long before that issue became generally thought about. I'd always thought the main issue (other than the obvious animal-welfare one) was the excessive use of land and the inefficient use of grain which humans could have eaten directly.
I think I read something someplace about human flatulence and what could reduce that, but I can't remember. If I googled the subject, I suspect that I'd mostly find a lot of lowbrow humor (which, I must admit, would probably have me cracking up. I think it's a guy thing...)

First off, you know I was just joking around?
But in all seriousness, it's a numbers thing. Ok I'm going to do a little googling.
......
Before the white man there was 30 - 60 million bison in North America.
Today there are about 100 million cows in North America.
So many more cows.
I know it's a fun thread, but I have occasionally wondered about domestic vs wild animals in this scenario.

Getting back on track.
This article is very disappointing. Not one poop joke.
But its a very good summary of what we have been discussing in this thread and a few others.
the article suggested to consume 30 different types of plants for optimum gut biome health.
.....
Counting on fingers I got 18. But I bet I'm missing a few. Still 30 seems like a lot.
OK can you guys count yours up and post it here. Interesting to compare.

This is no joke!!--I need to know why I was having gas all morning that smelled JUST like kala namak, black salt!!!!!
I don't normally have smelly gas at all, at most after raw veggies where it smells like broccoli but dissapates fast.
This morning I had nothing to eat, as usual. The day before was a very typical day, and didn't eat late. I wasn't bloated, or pained, I just kept farting what black salt smells like
That's nasty 
. It wasn't so bad when I got to work at least. I so want to know why
I didn't use it for some time, but I am very familiar with it, and it smells very bad and very distinctive!

from the following article: Foods high in sulfur can make your farts reek of rotten eggs. Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage are often to blame.This is no joke!!--I need to know why I was having gas all morning that smelled JUST like kala namak, black salt!!!!!

8 Reasons Your Farts Smell So Bad
You pass gas an average of 14 times a day, but not every fart is a stinky one. Here's what makes some farts smell so bad.
OP

I just sniffed some black salt. IMHO, It doesn't smell bad. and it doesn't smell like sulfur. I had a fresh package, too.
Did a little research but I don't think this article will help much but maybe make you anxious about colon cancer.
This article seemed more helpful. I think the peppermint tea is a good idea anyway. Its sort of a seasonal thing too. I wonder if peppermint hot chocolate would be good, too. I don't think the store bought mixes would be vegan. but maybe I could just drop a candy cane in my hot chocolate.
oh wow. I may go get some peppermint tea - seems like it could be a good for you
Last year I tried the Chocolate Peppermint Tea from The Republic of Tea. It wasn't very chocolaty or pepperminty.
I may try this one. Or just go into Whole Foods, they have one that is organic and Fair Trade, too.

Organic Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea brings back memories of cozying up on a cold winter day. But don't limit yourself to a temperature change before you brew a cup. Have this one whenever you want to feel a little warmer.

You're missing my point! I eat all the foods mentioned and do NOT suffer from smelly gas. Yesterday was a complete anomaly. It was followed by a day of very ordinary meals, and I hadn't even eaten any food or drink from 7 pm until 9am. It was from about 4:30am to about 7:30 amBlack salt is known as 'farty salt', but I think it's different and very very very pungent! My farts weren't as bad as when I use it over the sink and then run water to wash it down.
@Lou --This is what I'm talking about https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Spices-...ocphy=9015323&hvtargid=pla-569526448250&psc=1
Anyway, I haven't had issues since.
