Hello. Please be introduced to the concept of poop tomatoes, something that pops up in wastewater plants. In warmer climates we see more poop watermelons.

It's not just tomatoes or watermelons but those are the ones that seem to "make it" to being full plants so that's what people remember. I'd bet on chia for this bad boy.

Lots of seeds end up in the "grit". Here is some grit that spilled out of a conveyor.

    I once had a summer job at the local water authorities. I had the change to witness this kind of stuff with my very own eyes. Chia might be a wining bet, it has been a regular part of my diet for some time. This is a problem because I won't be able to put the blame on my partner then.
