Even just sharing a small border with New York State appears to be enough to drive up prices in your state! Given the comparatively short distance between the two, it's just about possible to commute between New York and Rhode Island, and some people do it. It's a cheaper alternative to living in New York, and you can get housed and fed for just about $20,000 over the course of the year.
The smallest of all the states on the mainland, Rhode Island was the last of the original 13 colonies to declare statehood. Oddly, there's no country Government system within the state at all; each of the 39 municipalities is self-governing, which must make governing the state as a whole somewhat difficult. During the prohibition era, it was a great place to come for a party - Rhode Island never ratified the 18th Amendment!
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.
