Cuckoo for Coca Puffs
Bolivia minister wants coca fed to school children
Bolivia's foreign minister says coca leaves, the raw material for cocaine, are so nutritious they should be included on school breakfast menus.
"Coca has more calcium than milk. It should be part of the school breakfast," Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca was quoted as saying in Friday's edition of La Razon.
According to a 1975 Harvard study, 100 g of coca leaves counts on nearly 19 calories in protein, 45.8 mg in iron, 1540 mg of calcium and other essential vitamins. So I think we may see this soon on the shelves of your favorite supermercado.
I really have too much time on my hands..

Someone needs to ask that guy whether he thinks ketchup is a vegetable.

This is too funny! I posted it on my group with credit to you. I hope you will come and join my political discussion group. We had another thread awhile back about Morales's speech posted by one of our members from Israel. My nickname there is AliceInWonderland.
