We seem to have hit upon another one of Haderer's favorite themes here - the importance of variety. The image is easy enough to understand - a bunch of well suited, booted and dressed up men and women who, aside from a few minor distinctions, look exactly the same. Not even great wealth can save you from conformity.
If everyone who can afford it wants to wear Versace they can, but there are only so many unique dresses Versace can make. Equally, if we all model ourselves after our favorite celebrities and their styles, we're all going to largely look the same. You only have to look to see how many minor celebrities these days look like a lower league Kardashian. It's great to look at someone and take a few style tips. It's less fun to steal their entire look. Also, men need some formal attire other than tuxedos. It's been hundreds of years. Give them something new!
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.
