    Sooo that's why my stomach feels that way.... I have a chia garden growing inside me. LOL. Its a good thing I eat flax seed to help flush it all out, cuz flax is also a laxative. :bigsmile: If it's not one thing its another. I think I will stick with what im doing.

    This post is absolutely nonsense. Come on. FDA staff have been furloughed since the government shutdown how could they do this earlier this week it is MONDAY!

    When someone posts something like this they should be blocked from all internet access.

    They say an FDA representative...........come on no names means it is absolute farce and is posted by someone who clearly has a hidden agenda.;

    *ahem* it's satire. This has already been explained. It runs along the lines of The Onion, and they are quite a popular entertainment source.

    The answer is in the comments!

    I wonder what my hidden agenda is?

    Wow. People are getting so angry.
    This post is under the heading of FUN AND GAMES

    Why would anyone take anything seriously under that heading. :yawn: Sheesh.

    if you eat tiny scissors, like these

    it will trim the chia garden inside your intestines, then you will be fine

    Are you freaking serious?! Why would you post such dangerous advice? That is just irresponsible.

    Everyone knows that the PROPER way to trim or weed an internal herb-garden is by swallowing some knotted twine, then tying the other end to a doorknob and slamming the door, similar to extracting a loose tooth.

    God. Amateur hour here.

    twine eh? I haven't heard of that one. I suppose if you got it down correctly, you could probably snag quite a bit in your harvest!

    Thank You for that information. I did a google search on them because I am going to put Chai seeds in my herbalife smoothies along with strawberries. That rediculous link p\ops up and the herb garden part I had to laugh at.

    Potential health hazards include: inability to eat a full and varied diet due to lack of space in the stomach, extended periods of satiation, overabundance of vitamins and minerals in the bloodstream, and the possibility of the seeds implanting into the lining of the stomach and intestines, thereby growing an internal herb garden that cannot be controlled by traditional means.
    lol. I laughed when I came to this paragraph......this is a joke/sarcasm right? LOL. "inability to eat a full meal"? WTF? Overabundance of vitamins in the blood stream? LOL......I laughed at that one.....isn't this a good thing?

    Like all things, anything in moderation......I wouldn't go having a tablespoon at each meal now! lol.

This list is not a comprehensive list of side effects that may occur from the regular ingestion of Chia.

    You posted the link as theonion. That is a known satire site.

    My favorite part of this whole thread (besides The Onion) is the fact the author felt the need to "bump" her own thread after 10 minutes because no one responded.
