Nope. I eat green beans all the time
There are hundreds and hundreds of different beans in the world. Most of the existing beans, like lima, black, and baked beans are perfectly fine to eat and healthy for you. Some other beans are poisonous, however. Many commonly eaten dried beans can be poisonous when uncooked. The cooking process destroys the toxins.
Red beans and kidney beans are not the same, although they are similar in appearance. Red beans are smaller and rounder, while kidney beans are larger and shaped like a kidney. They also have slightly different flavors and textures when cooked.

A kidney certainly does NOT look like a child's knee. Kidneys are sorta like jelly beans.
I've eaten raw green beans from my garden often. Many times when snapping off the tops and bottoms to cook them, I just pop beans into my mouth instead. I'm sure I've consumed at least a half a pound of them this way at a time. Then I cook the beans, but not too much because I like them still kinda crunchy with butter.I never even CONSIDERED that green beans could be toxic until I read that Kidney Beans have phytohemagglutinin when raw, and that this can actually increase on cooking if not cooked at 100C for 10 minutes which destroys it. Kidney beans/navy beans/green beans I believe are the same species of beans.If it were possible to get poisoning from raw/improperly cooked green beans however, I think I would most likely have discovered that given the way I prefer to eat them ( raw preferred to slightly cooked and will eat overcooked to canned greenbean texture if there is no choice ). I consider the way most people eat greenbeans to be overcooked mush.I also like to eat sprouted lentils. It never occurred to me that they might be poisonous. I don't think they are though as I've eaten LOTS of these.Still, I had considered trying Kidney Bean Sprouts, but I don't think I will now.
Roughly 1/2 cup of dried kidney beans equals 100g. Once cooked, 100g of kidney beans will yield about 1/2 to 2/3 cup of cooked beans, depending on how soft you like them.
They are shaped like little kidneys
