Chili, like most great foods, started off as poor people food. Poor people thicken and stretch out food with beans

Oh OK. Well chili I've seen always has beans in it and it's usually pretty good. It's an easy dish to make.

Beans are just a cheap filler protein to cut costs for those who can't afford more meats.

Don't listen to this guy, all chilis are stews, with beans or without. Chili doesn't always have beans either, lots of restaurants serve it with and without.
