There is something completely natural and normal that people do in every country, all over the world, every single day.
They use what God gave them in its natural form.
It warms them up, boosts them, helps them focus, and releases beta-endorphins so they feel more capable and positive about life.
But then one day, a religious leader decided to nix this whole thing.
We can’t have people feeling good!
And we definitely can’t be normal. Whatever is normal, we are not!
Take a stand! Be different!
Because we are *better* than that.
Then as time passed, the members of this church began to drink the extracts, or the synthetic version, mixed with tons of high fructose corn syrup and carbonation.
Cuz that’s better.
See how righteous we are?
“In the mid-20th century, Monsanto and Pfizer began producing synthetic caffeine using ammonia, chloroacetic acid, and methyl chloride.”
Yeah that sounds like a terrific alternative.
Well, my family has now joined the ranks of normal people worldwide.
And it feels so satisfying.
Coffee is just one of so many beverages humans consume for caffeine. Somehow, God thought it would be appropriate and beneficial to give one caffeinated plant or another to various civilizations all over His great creation.
Kola nuts, tea, Yerba mate, yoco bark, guarana berries, guayausa, yaupon holly….
And these plants have been consumed by humans in every country, in every climate, all through the eons of time.
It wasn’t until a small religious sect in the mid nineteenth century decided so, that they became evil.
(But not mate apparently…. The saints in South America are permitted their indigenous caffeine 🤷♀️🤦♀️)
“Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink” (Colossians 2:16)
