National Pass Gas Day Is Upon Us (Excuse Me)
breaking wind, or
passing gas, whatever you call it, farting is a natural body release. Thursday (January 7) is National Pass Gas Day.
I hear about farts at least 20 times a day in my home. I have a five-year-old son. It s no coincidence that the national day of flatulence comes the day after National Bean Day. Beans, just like other foods such as eggs, onions, dairy, wheat, broccoli and some fruits, tend to create a build-up of excess gas and pressure inside the belly.
seven miles per hour? I didn t until today. That is about the same speed at which the average mouse travels.
