There are, on the other hand, quite a few people who wouldn't eat that diarrhea pizza. Not because it will inflict on them a medical emergency, but because they're too busy taking photos of it. Yep, we're talking about the Instagram phenomenon, where people will spend more time capturing the perfect angle on their brunch than actually consuming the damn thing.
Maybe this is really the future, where none of us have to eat anymore. Maybe these hipsters have solved the global food crisis through photography, and they get their energy from Insta likes or static electricity from rubbing up against cats or photosynthesis or something. On second thought, maybe it's just that kids these days are so flippin' lazy, they don't even need the energy.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
