Not the Chia Pets...but still, I couldn't stop that one. *reports to @Mike for 30 lashes with a wet noodle*

Stop eating chia powder for a while. People are getting sick from it.

(Chia powder is a common supplement in gluten-free products.)

More than 70 people in the United States and Canada have been sickened in two so-called "sproutbreaks" involving foods made from either sprouted chia seeds or clover, federal investigators say. More than 10 of them have been hospitalized.

I have heard of people eating Chia seeds and i know about the Chia pet. I did not know that they where the same animal. (wow! really could have picked a better phrase than animal)

I have to wonder why we are seeing so many cases of E coli and salmonella in vegetables now days?
