Caffeine must be one of, if not the, most used drug. It is vital to the operation of more or less every industry.

It's a part of so much natural food it'd be impossible to ban

In quantities large enough to matter?

Yep, chocolate for example. Especially high cocoa chocolate.

Today I learned "high cocoa chocolate" is a natural food.

... wait, is that right? Chocolate is a processed food. Chocolate isn't a natural food. High-cocoa chocolate is a processed food. High-cocoa chocolate isn't a natural food.

Can someone fix my brain plz?

Caffeine occurs naturally in cacao. AFAIK, there is no way to process it out. That's all they meant.

Although you'd kinda have to eat a lot t get a significant dose.
