Caffeine and Hitler

A good reason for me to brew coffee at home — I don’t have to worry about baristas completely ignoring my request for decaf. I think there are just people (caffeine addicts) that can’t literally can’t comprehend someone not getting caffeine. It’s mind-boggling, really, how we can have such a blatantly widespread health issue that goes not ignored, but affirmed and accepted. I was addicted myself, until I grew up and realized what I was doing to my body.

You know who else got frustrated with his society’s addiction to altering substances? Hitler. Say what you will about the man, he was not a hypocrite. He lived a very, very clean life, free of any drugs, alcohol, or even meat (he was nearly vegan). Of course, he was also a sociopathic mass genocidal power monger who condoned slander and lit himself on fire after shooting his wife in the head. But nobody’s perfect.
