| Magic. Giant beanstalks are obviously impractical for gardening purposes. There's no indication that Jack's father knew they were magic (although why, then, did they go uneaten? Distracted by crashing and flashing?), so the plant must have appeared to be a normal one. So, magic. Perhaps it's a particular cultivation technique that leads a standard beanstalk to yield special beans. Same for the goose...it had to have hatched in the standard manner, from a just-a-goose parent, but has its own unique quality. |

| And he's not coming back. But the way you phrased it, the logical assumption was that the Baker's Father is the one who didn't eat the beans. Jack's Father never had a chance to weigh in on the beans, though Jack's Mother had the opportunity to put them into a stew or something. |
