"Not for human consumption" seeds. Have you snacked on some?

[Dahlia]

So, I LOVE sunflower seeds. Store sells tiny little sandwhich baggies of it for $6-9 each! Then, the petstore sells hulled sunflowers in a wonderful 5 pound bag for $7!

What makes it "Not for human consumption"? I mean, how mad can it be? I'm not going to feed my pets, birds or livestock something potentially dangerous. And I'm sure many of us have eaten less than proper foods, by accident or what have you.

Has anyone ever eaten any bird food seeds? Did you get sick? Do you still eat it?

I never ate bird seed, but when I was a kid I tried some Meow Mix!

a old friend of mine (many years ago now) put some in green jello (the great midwestern jello salad binder for almost anything) and said it was ok. he was in a very poor time of his life and that was what he had on hand.
