22. Rice with Ketchup

22. Rice with Ketchup

This combination makes me very sad. I'll tell you why, and you'll see if maybe you can relate. It's 9pm and you've been holding off eating because you're broke and it would be easier just to go to sleep than to have dinner. Poor life, woot woot! But you just can't do it. There's no way your body will let you sleep without something in your belly, so you take whatever you can. That's where the rice comes in. Rice is the cheapest thing you can make other than cake, but rice gets very harsh to eat alone meal after meal. You have to mix it up, which is where the ketchup comes in - the cheapest condiment.

This combo just takes me back to all those nights. Now I just go further into credit card debt when I want to eat good food. I'll win the lotto one day, so it'll be fine. I'll pay it all back.

Did You Know...

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.
