Swap beans for meat? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
“for” usually means the first thing is replacing the second. If it said “with” than it’d go the other way

The title is still wrong. The stackexchange post is about the verbs to replace and to exchange not to swap.
Interesting 🤔
I guess that makes sense because if I were paying for beans with meat, that means I’m trading meat for beans but “trading for” means the other way so I’m still kinda confused 😵💫
I’ll trade you my English skills for a sac of beans 🫘
Yeah English prepositions can be a little weird sometimes like that
Out of curiosity what’s your native language?
Wouldnt a person be swapping meat for beans, though?
Beans. Beans. Beans. Beans.
Memey beans.
“swap beans for meat” is a valid way to say “beans instead of meat”
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/23360/substitute-x-for-y
as a linguistics graduate, that doesn’t make sense
Please stop posting this as an authority saying it’s valid. It’s an internet discussion with a robust debate about whether it’s valid or ambiguous, which means it’s ambiguous. The only valid conclusion here is that while one might have their own convention on this, it’s not universal and this should be phrased another way. “Replace meat with beans,” for example.
the bean > the meat
YES BEAN BROTHER, WE FART SUPREME
People continue to be amazed by everyone sliding into poverty.
There are environmental and ethical reasons to do this. Not just cost
Would love to eat more beans but the result for me is always quite…farty
Sure. Sure there are.
No reasons at at like that really if you think about it
To produce 1 kg of protein from kidney beans required approximately eighteen times less land, ten times less water, nine times less fuel, twelve times less fertilizer and ten times less pesticide in comparison to producing 1 kg of protein from beef
I just don’t think enough people care about this to make a huge difference. This has been true for some time now and the impact has been noticiable but it was more or less steady. Just look at meat alternatives slowly gaining more of the market.
The more recent development is almost certainly due to extreme prices of meat especially beef because of the Iran-US war.
Burritos, refried beans, vegan burgers, hummus (yes I’m counting chickpeas as beans), chili 🤤
Beans are awesome, as are nuts (can’t have those myself unfortunately) and seeds
counting chickpeas as beans
Wait, then what’s the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean?
garbanzo is Spanish, chickpea is English
The real difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean is that I’ve never paid $50 for a garbanzo to bean on my face
I’d love to but I just cannot stand beans. Not the taste, not the texture. Even if they onl consist like 10% of the dish it can sometimes be too much for me.
I might be contributing to both sides of this as a bean eater and bean meme poster
Such a hypocrit smh
For real though, beans of all kinds are nutrient dense
My seven bean chilli is always popular at parties.
Way ahead, making a big pot of beans every week now. Currently alternating between black and pinto.
Bean there, done that
