I love how this one slowly hits you. At first you think, "why would they be scuba diving in the desert?" Then you finally understand... because there is no more water. Now, while I think that if the Earth ever got this bad we would be dead before we ever took up desert scuba diving, the message is not lost on me. Anytime I take a shower longer than three minutes I start to get worried about the planet. I live in Southern California which as been in a drought since the 20s. Seriously, until we learn how to drink salt water, this could be a serious issue.
I don't think this is how the end of the world would go down though. A lot of people have the desert depiction in their head, but I think a huge wave will swallow us all before we ever completely dry up. Isn't this fun to talk about?
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.
