Back in the early days of Covid-19, I can remember that everybody was singing the praises of chia seeds. Remember this?
 Ah-Chia!!!! |
This completely makes sense, you would think this would be intuitive.
Do you get chia seeds from a Hussein Obama Chia Pet kit?
But how does grinding compare to mixing whole seeds with liquid?
Ch-ch-ch-chia!
Aw, c’mon- you were all singing the song in your heads!

I toast mine in a hot dry pan first,then grind.
Ah-Chia!!!! |
Anything that grows in the shape of Obama’s head is not good for you.
I put chia seeds in my blender with protein powder, yogurt, blueberries, ice and pom juice every morning. Works well for me but I know everybody is a bit different.
If you have diverticulitis tiny seeds are not recommended. If you strain on the toilet, over the long run equal to develop diverticuli. Your intestines develop pockets, sort of like blowing bubble gum when you strain during bowel movements.
When I was in boot camp there was a Master Chief cook who came to one of the early nutrition classes during the first week of recruit training and I will never forget this guy. He he started out his lecture by saying, “there are two kinds of food. Food that makes a turd and food that pushes a turd. Make sure you eat a lot of food that pushes the turd!”
And then he began his lecture on the importance of a balanced nutritional diet which The Galley would see to it that each recruit ate during their three square meals per day and how we were supposed to eat everything on our tray.
Of course the cooks on the serving line were sinister. You would hold your tray out for your breakfast dollop of oatmeal and they would give you a gigantic dollop of oatmeal. If you had food remaining on your tray there was a monitor at the garbage can when you bussed your trays and utensils, who sent you back to the table to finish your meal... I can attest that a lot of recruits walked out of that galley with oatmeal in their pockets because it was just easier that way.
