We totally adore Larry Torro's artwork, as he always offers such beautiful messages that are close to our hearts and speaks about matters that are often unseen. This particular piece showcases a parallel universe where the animals get their revenge.
This four-part artwork showcases the seal taking revenge with a club, the lion killing the hunter, the bull using the same spear that was used to taunt him by the matador, and a fox wearing a dead woman as a coat. All of these pieces come together to show how things would look if we switched places. It reminds us that we absolutely should show kindness and humanity towards these animals, instead of controlling and using them for our personal gain. There is no doubt that the image paints a disturbing and alarming picture, but it is necessary in order to educate and raise awareness.
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.
