The Health Food of a Nation! 

[Ford Fairlane]

I saw this yesterday and immediately thought, is this a clever ploy by HFA to highlight the importance of legalising hemp foods for human consumption?? As the laws stand now, there is no requirement for HFA to provide sanitary conditions in their manufactiring facility, as it is not considered food. Also, there is no requirement for them to recall products that contain lysteria, salmonella or any other food borne pathogens. Hmm

[This Week In Weed]

This whole thing is scary, especially that an Australian Importer / Exporter, is importing seeds / food from China, processing or just erpackaging then exporting it and that it is still certified Organic), Per the Australia Certified Organic folks they do not check for food qulaity only if organic per the paperwork provided. All very scary.

sounds like a government plot to wipe out weed eaters.
