In the unlikely event you needed proof of America's (perhaps unhealthy) obsession with hamburgers, then consider this: Burgers have made Lynsi Snyder a billionaire, and she isn't even involved in McDonald's. Snyder is the CEO and owner of In-n-Out Burger; a company which was started by her grandparents. Snyder received a controlling share of the stock when she turned 35, which pushed her net worth beyond $3bn. She was already worth one than one billion at the time.
When she's not running the family business, you might be able to find Snyder indulging her passion for drag racing, which is something else she inherited from her grandfather. Aside from that, though, she likes to stay out of the public eye. She has a good reason for that; because of her family's wealth, she's found herself targeted by kidnappers not once but twice.
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.
