This 2010 comedy drama was well received by critics and fans alike. It premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance festival, and then received a limited cinema release which was expanded when it became clear that audiences loved it. It went on to win Golden Globes for 'Best Picture,' with star Annette Bening winning the 'Best Actress' award at the same ceremony. Four Oscar nominations followed, although it wasn't able to pick up any trophies.
'The Kids Are All Right' was both written and directed by Lisa Cholodenko and depicts a same sex couple played by Bening and Julianne Moore raising their teenage children. The elder sister becomes curious and sets out in search of her biological father. There's joy when she finds him, but that quickly turns to despair when he has an affair with one of her mothers. With this being a comedy, all of these events lead on to hilarious consequences.
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.
