American soldiers are expected to be strong and able to withstand just about anything. Of course, this not only requires them to maintain a healthy lifestyle but also to eat properly. However, the food that was available for soldiers wasn’t very appetizing or plentiful. Instead, soldiers preferred their fix on coffee over the meals. Coffee has the potency to relieve tiredness and sometimes emotional distress. The average American drinks coffee every morning before going to work or school as a way to get their energy. Same with the soldiers, a cup of coffee was enough to give them energy to keep on fighting. I would say that coffee was probably one of the contributing factors for winning the war.
One food that I can’t live without would be tofu. As a vegan, it’s probably my most potent and reliable source of protein and it’s incredible in so many dishes.
