    I once read where Chia seeds could be the "new Flax Seeds". I believe it. (Still use Flax, but Chia's healthier-more fiber).

    Following up from my previous post, I'm trying an "experiment", which is essentially a suggestion for a chia seed consumption idea. At this writing, I am waiting to try a glass of water into which I just mixed in some chia seeds. Supposedly, the water-absorbed chias will strengthen their content, thus their fiber. OK, the experiment has begun. I'm drinking the water. I wonder if I did something wrong, as it the seeds are supposed to form a gel in the water, but instead, they're all over the place inside. Oh well, at least they are being absorbed by the H2O. This was a good thing to try today before lunch, as I just had eggs on toast for breakfast today-Sundays I skip cereal. I should add-I didn't make up this experiment...rread it from one of the many chia seed related sites.

    Perry, have you tried "Fat-free with the taste of 2%"? I think it's made by Hood.

    I'm unfamiliar with that brand, Paul. I'll look for it the next time I'm at the store.

    Oh-it may be that Hood is sold just up in my area-I don't know that, but I'd like for other brands to do the "Fat-Free, But Tastes Like 2% Fat" thing.

    Hood is a regional New England brand. Chances are they are using ultra filtered milk to achieve that effect.

    My son and I have been walking every other day 5 miles ... tonight my wife is joining us.

    The opposite days we lift weights.

    I'm switching from second shift to first shift tomorrow. I've been on second for last six months, so not looking forward to this transitional period.

    The Big H has been around for decades...I well remember seeing the Hood "Milk Truck" back its way into our driveway in Cape Cod for deliveries, probably when I was 7-8 years old.

    Why do adult humans drink the mammary secretions intended for the baby of a different species?

    Why do we do this?

    Milk is super loaded with fat and sugar and is intended to make calves grow quickly.

    It makes adult humans fat.

    Not ALL forms of milk.

    you sure?

    Let's examine:

    What actual milk (species) is not intended solely to foster rapid growth?

    I was referring to where you said milk is located with fat.

    Most brands are quite healthy. I like to take advantage of that fact.

    Yes. It all is when it's produced for offspring. Unless it's been skimmed or processed, it's loaded.

    Did you know all wheat in the USA is desiccated with glyphosate (Roundup)?

    The recent modern rise of "gluten intolerance", metabolic syndrome, and autism precisely correlates with this practice. Just something to think about beyond what is on the "nutrition labels."
