The Coca Cookbook by Bebe Fiammetta [EPUB: 3950420622]

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH: NO PLANT IS ILLEGAL! Instead of denouncing alcohol, which God forbade in the holy, unchanged Quran, faithless bishops of all parts of South America assemble in Lima in 1569 in order to denounce coca, the so-called “pernicious” Creation that is supposed to give Indigenes strength. … Glory to Him, the exalted One, yet coca survives, it was a bitter effort of eradication and persecution, yet the Merciful saved it from the hands of those who dare to allege that He created a mistake and until today He is punishing its enemies, who are killed in greater numbers by the hands of drug cartels than cocaine consumers by cocaine. What are they even fighting for? Will they ever learn to surrender to the Almighty? Should they not fight the deadliest drug in the world instead: alcohol? Should they not fight drunk driving, fornication, rape, cancer and addiction? Should they not treat alcohol like they needlessly treat coca if they honestly want to make a difference? Did God not side with the weak ones when He forbade those utterly pernicious beverages which man himself, not God, erroneously created? And can we expect the same Compassion from the elites worldwide?

Vegans, prostate to God, Glory to Him, the exalted One: it was discovered that Erythroxylum leaves from Chapare, Bolivia, when compared to an average of 50 vegetable products found in Latin America, are “higher in calories (305/100g compared to 279), protein (18,9g: 11,4g), carbohydrate (42,6g: 37,1g), fiber (14,4g: 3,2g), ash (9,0g: 2,0g), calcium (1540mg: 99mg), phosphorus (911mg: 270mg), iron (45,8mg: 3,6mg), vitamin A (11.000 IU: 135 IU) and riboflavin (1,91mg: 0,18mg)”. And while the ordinary consumption of coca leaves benefits health, the concentration of cocaine alkaloid in the leaf is so little that it won’t lead to addiction nor to any physical health issue according to a broad cocaine-study conducted between 1992 and 1994 by the World Health Organization. Au contraire, the study, which covers 19 countries and 22 cities, encourages to focus on the positive health effects of coca.
