The United States was elected in 2009 to sit on the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which the U.S. State Department had previously asserted had lost its credibility by its prior stances and lack of safeguards against severe human rights violators taking a seat.
The lima bean plant (Phaseolus lunatus) is named after the city of Lima, Peru, where people have been eating them since 6000 BC. In the U.S., Native Americans grew lima beans before the English settlers landed. Lima beans are also known as butter beans or chad beans.
Phaseolus vulgaris, the common bean (also known as the string bean, field bean, flageolet bean, French bean, garden bean, green bean, haricot bean, pop bean, or snap bean), is a herbaceous annual plant grown worldwide for its edible dry seed (known as just  beans ) or unripe fruit (green beans).into beans are named for their mottled skin. They are the most common bean in the United States and northwestern Mexico, and are most often eaten whole in broth or mashed and refried. Either whole or mashed, they are a common filling for burritos. The young pods may also be harvested and cooked as green pinto beans.
