If I had a choice to choose between coffee and food, I would give up coffee, believe me I’m a coffee lover but under those circumstances like civil war and living as a soldier I would need a healthy diet to keep me going. Food will boost me up and I’ll be ready to move on in any situation. Coffee can work but I believe food has more benefit over coffee in situation like Civil War, it can give us the complete nutrition that our body needs.
Also, I can’t live without beef lasagna, not getting tired eating this!
You have a point and I agree with your statement on coffee and food. I use to drink coffee every day and without reasoning at some point, I became addicted and had to stop. Coffee isn’t nutritious and like you said food has way more benefits for our body.
