I Go Coo Coo For Coca Puffs

Bolivia's foreign minister, from the new leftist government of Evo "Shemp" Morales, is talking about the nurtitional value of coca leaf.
"Coca has more calcium than milk. It should be part of the school breakfast,"

As most of you know, coca leaf is used to make cocaine and Shemp was once a coca farmer. Does that mean he wants to harvest coca in order to make cocaine? I don't know, but I now know the nutritional value.
A coca leaf weighing 100 grams contains 18.9 calories of protein, 45.8 mg
of iron, 1540 mg of calcium and vitamins A, B1, B2, E and C, which is more than
most nuts, according to a 1975 study by a group of Harvard
Sounds nutritious to me and maybe it will get kids to pay attention in class.
