Tsou can't help but let out a light-hearted laugh when he talks about flatulence. But for Tsou, the reason why he and others — including some Democratic delegates who support former candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders — plan to eat beans and pass gas at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia is anything but a laughing matter. "It's a whimsical way of raising a protest," Tsou told NBC News. "There's a lot of things that stink about this whole democratic primary process."

DOMINICK REUTER / AFP - Getty Images Billed as a "fart-in," the coordinated assault on the olfactory system is scheduled for July 28 both inside the Wells Fargo Center and outside on the street, at the moment presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton accepts the party's nomination, organizer Cheri Honkala told NBC News. "For us, this whole thing is a farce, it's a charade," said Honkala, who was Green Party candidate Jill Stein's vice-president pick in 2012. "They're creating the illusion of democracy in a very important historical location, Philadelphia, and we're really saddened by that."

ORLANDO SIERRA / AFP - Getty Images The Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Using flatulence as a protest tool was, according to the Daily Kos, apparently the brainchild of Saul D. Alinsky, who coincidentally corresponded with Clinton while she was writing her 1969 Wellesley College thesis on his theories of community organizing. After putting the word out about the fart-in through her national organization, thePoor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, Honkala said she began receiving beans from all over the country: navy beans, baked beans, smoked beans, lima beans. She also received money to buy the high-fiber food, known for its gas-producing effects.

Some of the city's homeless will also be living there, she said. How long it will take to toot will vary from person to person, Tsou said. "My guess is that, everyone's a little different, but within six hours or something, you'll probably feel something," said Tsou, who added that he's personally partial to baked beans.
