        I actually saw that segment on the night it aired and though it was very funny. And I object to the crap marketing of so called super foods. But chia does have a lot of good nutrients and fibre in it.

        Very good, I'm pleased you posted it. But I do personnally find chia on my cereal stops the mid-morning hunger cravings. As Checkout concludes, a good food not a super food.

        Glad it works for you

        Can't comment on the deal as I don't buy this stuff so I don't know what it goes for regularly

        I reckon get all the nutrition I need by eating a proper diet with a wide variety of foods. When I get the mid-morning hunger cravings I eat an apple.

        Without watching the video, I knew from reading this comment that it was a Checkout segment. Great show.

      I just listen to the scientists rather than the marketers. Dr Karl is my go to.

      EDIT: LOL look at the Chia suckers downvoting the anti comments. "But if it is BS then I am stupid, therefore they must be wrong as I am not stupid."

        If Dr. Karl said that, then he is wrong. This is a common error made by most people.

        If P, then Q.
        Not P.
        Therefore, not Q.

  Bought for the same price in Jan.. So guess its normal price.. Unless you think its a bargain because chemist warehouse makes everything look like one.

  I don't believe the hype but I also think it tastes terrible. Had a loaf of bread with chia, yuck.
