Sometimes, a job just doesn't stack up the way you thought it would when you agreed to do it. Rooney Mara's problem wasn't anything to do with the quality of the script for 'Pan,' in which she played Tiger Lily. She didn't think it was a bad movie, and she didn't have any issue with anything that she was required to do on the set. It was the way that people reacted to the film.
What Mara hadn't thought about when she took the part was that, strictly speaking, she was the wrong race to play the character. The movie was accused of 'whitewashing' the story, and led to a broader conversation about diversity and inclusivity in Hollywood, with her part frequently being highlighted as an example of people from ethnic minorities being denied roles. She says she's learned from the experience, and will never put herself in that position again.
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.
