This image gives me a heavy George Orwell 'Animal Farm' vibe. If you haven't read that book I highly suggest it. It might be about animals, but that book is a very accurate portrayal of human behavior. In the end of that book the pigs that have taken over the farm slowly start to become human after they've finally gotten everything they wanted. Not just regular, nice humans like in a fairytale. They turn into the worst kind of greedy human you could be: a rich, white male. Just kidding. Don't get triggered.
The truth is that the current power base in the United States is a majority of white males just like in this picture. The clown noses show that these are not men to be taken seriously. Sure, they may be in power, but they are no better than clowns. Too bad the joke is on us.
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.
