I always thought kids were picky eaters, but I guess not. Kids will eat anything that's in front of them, especially if their best friend, the family dog, is eating it too. Although it looks like this kid is hogging all the good kibbles and bits. Either that or the dog is smart enough to know that this a good thing. He's peeking around the corner like he is trying to stay say, "is something going on over here? I didn't even realize. Crazy..."
When I was a kid I had drawn all over the walls with crayons and when my parents caught me, I blamed the dog. I said that he put the crayons in his mouth and started to draw on the wall. Nobody believed it except for me. I needed to believe the lie to pull it off.
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.
