An interior decorator is hired to come in and determine what new furniture should be obtained and where to place it. Most of the new furniture is rented. In the bedroom, you can dress up an old bed with a new bedspread. A dining or kitchen table can be disguised under a long, new table-cloth. Legs of furniture can be buffed and polished to hide scuffs, scratches, and stains. A new rug of even the poorest quality usually looks far better than an older, worn expensive rug. [2003] - Robert Irwin

Beans, green vegetables, seeds, and some fruits are high in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber supplies a gelatinous-like material in the bowel. It is not absorbed and does not give us calories.

The resistant starch found in beans powerfully reduces hunger and, thus, food consumption over many hours. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman
