My theory on how the world would end isn't like in the movies or sci-fi books. It's always a slow, scary process in works of fiction. I think one day I'll be taking a walk and think, "wow, it got hot all of a sudden," and then that will be it. With one flash we'll all be gone. Doesn't that sound a lot better than running away from tsunamis and fire tornados? Maybe Dwayne the Rock Johnson could survive a geostorm, but not most of us.
In this depiction of global warming we see a slow burn. People are so used to the scorching heat that they're cooking steaks outside. I've heard of frying an egg on the sidewalk, but this is a little ridiculous. You better like your steak extra rare and your skill well-done.
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.
