What I found most fascinating about a Civil War soldier’s diet is their dependence on coffee. Amusingly, I can personally relate to them because I always feel like I need to have my coffee every morning during my commute to school or in the middle of my morning classes. I know caffeine isn’t good for you of course, but it is definitely addictive. I depend on coffee to get through certain days where I have a lot to do or days when I’m really stressed out and so I feel like I can’t get these things done if I don’t have a cup of coffee on my hand. Just like the soldiers, I also believe coffee helps fuel me and give me that energy I need to get through the day.
What I can’t live without… A caramel latte.
