216. Anchoveta or Peruvian sardine (engraulis ringens) was the essential food of the Inka people who ate it in less number fresh and mostly as charki (dried) which the chaskis transported to length and width of the Tawantinsuyu while being monitored and fussily counted using kipus.
This was known and seen with good willing eyes by Iberian leaders like the crypto-Jew Pizarro, who at the time was already a brother-in-law of Atawallpa; but it was the catholic church (the true conqueror of Latin America) the one which decided to cut the provision abruptly and in full as it learned that this food was key to keep our indigenous ancestors healthy, strong, and intelligent.
Here fits the remark that Jesus -one of the best persons in history- was also an assiduous consumer of what we can call Mediterranean anchoveta.
May the pure and sincere truth described on the previous lines serve as an incentive for the people living not only in Chile or Peru but in the whole World to start feeding themselves from this incomparable nutritive fish and discard once and for all the consume of animals (pigs, turkeys, chickens, and cattle brutally raised in a massive and artificially accelerated way), which due to the permanent stress inside where they are born, grew and die, turn -no matter how much anchoveta meal they themselves eat- into harmful food, causing multiple diseases (mainly neoplastic).
This change of attitude on a world level, which shall be fomented with clear urgency by governments, enterprises, media, and the general public, will help to revert the ecological harm we are inflicting to the marine biomass of our oceans and to better health and quality of life of the whole Humanity.
