Just chew them lightly to release the juice and then just
swallow them. They won't hurt you. You will not end up
with a pomegranate tree growing in your stomach or
intestines. However, if you accidentally inhale one (or
any other seed) you could end up with something growing
in your lung. ;-) Okay, just messing around. Just
swallow the damn things.

I have this problem when I invited people to T-day dinner
who have never eaten pomegranate seeds before. I always
make an orange pomegranate compote which consists of orange
segments and pomegranate seeds and freshly grated coconut.
This year I had friends over and they just left all the seeds
in the bottom of the dish, even after I explained how to eat
them. Sheesh!
