They were trendy. Then people realized they're similar in taste and
nutrition to other, more ordinary beans. Lentils, navy beans, black
beans, kidney beans, azuki beans, they're all a little different but
largely the same.

Also-- the original thread was about whole grains. Beans are a whole
'nother animal.
