When I was a kid, I raised pigeons. I checked out every book I could find on them. One of the books, circa 1930 or so, stated in no uncertain terms that you could not bring a pigeon up to it's full potential as a show bird unless it was fed a certain proportion of hemp in its diet. Okay, humans and pigeons aren't a lot alike, but if it can make that much of a difference in a bird, its got to be good for humans. I do know it is a good protein source and has a heart-healthy oil (it's got the same stuff that's in fish oils- vegans and vegetarians should be interested in this fact. They can help their hearts and still avoid an animal product). I include hemp seed from my local health food store in my diet. I don't know if it is a super-food, but it is, at the least, a healthy food.
