What is it with celebrities choosing names for their children that seem to be related to a profession? And why is it, given that most of them are actors, do none of them name their children 'actor' or 'performer'? Are they trying to tell us something? Fifteen-year-old Pilot Inspektor Lee is the son of eccentric actor Jason Lee and his former partner, actress Beth Riesgraf. Lee once explained the reasoning behind the spectacular name, and it's not a kind one.
The rock band 'Granddaddy' are one of Lee's favorites, with their song 'He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot' his pick of their catalog. He liked the band so much that he took 'Pilot' for his son's name, even though the song explicitly refers to him as being 'simple and dumb.' At fifteen, Pilot has surely worked this out by now and had stern words with his father.
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.
