Lot's of people suffer from legume/lentils allergy, it's anything but healthy for them.

  It goes without saying that eating something you’re allergic to doesn’t make sense. For most of us lentils are a cheap and very nutritious food.

  What’s up with this internet argument style where people think that pointing out an obvious exception is a valid retort? Are you seriously suggesting that they needed to provide a disclaimer about allergies to their general statement about lentils being healthy? Can you tell me how you would modify the statement “exercise is healthy” to capture all exceptions as well?

    > What’s up with this internet argument style where people think that pointing out an obvious exception is a valid retort? Because it's not so obvious exception as you think it is, in fact it's the exact opposite, it's a very common type of allergy (Mediterranean, middle east, asia) and usually overlooked by many, that's why. > Are you seriously suggesting that they needed to provide a disclaimer about allergies to their general statement about lentils being healthy? Anti-nutrients (beside the allergies) in lentils/legumes is a real issue, so the "lentils being healthy" statement is highly debatable.
