Chia Pet Seeds the New Health Food? [VIDEO]

At some point in time, we have all had the cute little terra cotta animal come into our lives.  We mix up the little mud packet with the tiny little seeds and spread it all over that little terra cotta animal and watch it grow.   Yes, I am talking about the Ch-Ch-Chia Pet.  It is a new day and age and those silly little terra cotta animals cost you about $20 but their seeds are priceless because apparently they are a good health food.
