    Post on the forums with a thread that's obviously a joke and someone happens to not get that means you are DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION.

    "Why did the blind blonde cross the road?"
    "She was following her chicken."

    I AM DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION.

    "Why did the idiot drink herbicide?
    To kill their internal herb garden, that resulted from the ingestion of Chia seeds!"

    Well it is common advice on mfp not to eat things one cannot pronounce. I have never heard anyone say "chia" so as long as no one tells me how to pronounce it you can bet I'll be staying away from these seeds of evil.

    Now, I'm off to make a sandwich. Catcha later :)

    NOOOO turn away from the sandwich!!!

    You'd also think that just because a person put something in quotations, it must be a direct quote from somewhere..

    WHAT NERVE!

    With that attitude, I'd say she's probably going through chia-withdrawals.

    She should probably call 1-888-IH8-CHIA
  • Wow...I wonder if it counts as a chia pet if it's growing in your stomach...

    Well, you could still rub your belly and pet it... so yes? Sounds very pet like to me.

    But DO NOT DO IT!!! Your breath will smell like herbs and spices forever!

    I'm only interested, if OP, posts the FDA links, or other reliable sources.

    OP, would you be willing to provide ?
    thanks

    It's a conspiracy of secrecy! I got this from internal sources.

    Food & Derp Administration?

    Anonymous Gastronomist... It's a little known food activism underground newspaper... They don't post online cuz the stuff is so secretive, you can only get it if you know the right people. I just thought this was good enough to type out.

    I have quite enjoyed this myself, but I'm biased.

    awe both have their own little special spot. I enjoyed this thread at all the indignant people complaining that something as precious as their chia seeds could be made into a farce. The sandwich thread was good because anything talking about the evils of sandwiches is good.

    Since all the hate has died down... I just wanted to come out and say that this was 100% satire. I love Chia seeds, and eat them whenever I can. If you know about them, you'll also know that I incorporated many of the benefits of Chia in my original post. So calm calm calm yourselves... It'll be all right ;)
  • 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
    chocolate%20scissors%20lrg.jpg
    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.
  • Thanks for the fun on this Canadian Thanksgiving night. Lots of great laughs! :bigsmile: :laugh: :bigsmile:

    Ha! That's a new one but the answer is.. yes, some people really ran with the "truth" in this case... And I got reported and they edited out the hotline number from my original post :(

    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!

    You were seriously reported??? I'd like to know who it is so I can trip them in the hall after school.
