    CHIA seeds

    Anybody doing the Chia seed thing? Have you seen the reported health benefits of the little bastids? We got a sample of some type of chia goo from SAMs this past weekend, so I looked them up. They'll do everything but wash your car. So we figure we'll give them a try.

    Here are some of the benefits http://mychiaseeds.com/Articles/Top10ChiaBenefits.html


    Yes, these things

    Beware—chia seeds have a laxative effect.

    Unless you eat them with that little clay statue thingy, then it's clearly a bowel obstruction.

    If you make a really big paper mache ball and put the seeds on it you can call it Chia Earth. Oh, Pinky and the Brain already did that.

    I can think of better things to eat like granola aka pebbles and twigs, Mueslix (more pebbles and twigs) and Metalmucous... eh, Metamucil.

    WTF am I saying? I want a taco, hello?
