AfterĀ reading both articles, I’ve noticed that coffee and food was very significant and dependent forĀ the soldiers during the Civil War especially for survival. Ā What I found most interesting in “How Coffee Fueled the Civil War”, article was that coffee helped many soldiers by ‘fueling’ them to fight wars. According to the article, soldiersĀ made their coffee anywhere that was possible such as; “water from canteens and puddles, brackish bays and Mississippi mud, liquid their horses would not drink.”Other than coffee, food is very important as well. Consuming food for energy is the best way for survival. However, many soldiers became ill from the uncooked and unsanitary food they ate.
Fish is the type food I cannot live without. It has lot less saturated fat than most red meat and contains many health nutritionsĀ like omega-3 and protein.Ā
