BEANS
No, I'm not entirely serious.
Yes, I'm going to try and defend the importance of beans. Wish me luck.
MY REASONING:
There is nothing more important in the world than beans because importance fluctuates (big fancy word) over time. FURTHERMORE (another big fancy word tee hee), BEANS ARE FOREVER (seriously this stuff like doesn't expire. Well-kept dried beans can last for 30 years apparently)! Even after I die, a well-kept stockpile of dried beans could live on. And imagine how many people leave behind well-kept stockpiles of dried beans after they die (prove me right and do this when you die)! SO, if time goes on for enough time, assuming beans continue to exist, there may eventually be an instance in which dried beans (or just beans in general) are the most important thing in the world. Maybe not right now, but someday...
And then, someone might just look at this and think, "Hey, they were right!"
