Make hemp foods legal in Australia and New Zealand

Hemp low THC foods are an important part of a growing new industry of low THC industrial industry products in Australia and New Zealand. Every other WTO country now growing low THC industrial hemp has hemp food as the main contributor to making this an important agricultural industry, an asset to their country.

Australia and New Zealand Food Regulation Ministerial Council will vote on this issue in December 2011 and need to make hemp seed food legal so that the true value of all hemp products will be shown from a hemp harvest.

Articles from Canada, France and China show their governments support to help build on the efforts of the people involved in industrial hemp industry. At a time when food is such a critical issue to lots of countries, it would seem criminal to not allow a nutritional food source that has potential to make a big difference in a country that has the broad acre land available to really help local farmers and the needs of a growing world population.

I believe that with the nutritional benefits of hemp foods that the hemp industry would be better overseen in the Department of Health (like Canada). We are asking for the same rights all WTO countries have but we in Australia and New Zealand do not. Where is the evidence to not allow low THC hemp foods?
