Me and my other siblings tried convincing her. She brings home fast food beef. In fact she did yesterday.
It’s amusing how some misconceptions are just universal and irrespective of culture.
Talk to anyone here too and they’ll tell you that “red meat is bad for you.” Or eggs.
Funny when the standard Italian breakfast is croissants, cookies, and cereal.
Personally, I’m a fan of this contention. Chili? BBQ? Yeah, I’ll eat.

It’s largely because of decades of research that suggested that saturated fat from beef and cholesterol from eggs are linked to heart disease, etc.
Now the pendulum is swinging the other way- towards carbs being bad for you.
Knowing very little of nutritional sciences, I think that saying carbs are bad for you is as equally misleading as the argument that beef and eggs are bad for you.

Man, you are in San Diego now. You MIGHT be close enough to get some legit SLO style tri tip BBQ. That is CA’s contribution to the BBQ world.
And it’s delicious.
And beef, haha.

I’ve never had no-bean chili, but something tells me it must be delicious, because I love beans and it would have to taste amazing for me not to miss them.
I also didn’t know that chili supposedly originated without beans!
I’ve had both - I wouldn’t say that the absence of beans degraded it at all, and vice versa. Just different textures, really.
Beans were added to chili as in inexpensive ingredient to “stretch” it when times were hard.
In New Mexico, bean-chili is called “poor man’s chili”, “hard times chili”, or by my step-dad (who is full-blooded Apache) “beaner chili”. And no, “beaner” is not a reference to the beans.
Mind you, we live in Lincoln County, which is hard core cattle country – Billy the Kid, Pat Garret, etc., was here.
I like both, I suppose.

Beans! I’ve never heard of beanless chili, my entire world has changed. Suppose I need to try it out before I judge…

Same for me. Now I’m hungry and I want to cook both versions
for sure. All jokes aside, I don’t ACTUALLY think beans are as terrible as I said above. I just think all meat chili is waaaaay better. I also prefer it from a nutritional standpoint, but that’s kinda secondary in this context.
