What the American dream means to me is that you can come to America, import a baby lion, and then charge people to take pictures with it. How do you feed it, take care of it, or store it when it gets big? Who cares. You figure that out after you've made the big bucks. Nowadays there are all sorts of laws against just buying a lion for no apparent reason, but I think that's messed up. How am I supposed to achieve my American dream?
To be fair, people still take plenty of photos like this, but they're always in different countries other than the United States. You better believe that once I get enough money I'm going to buy an alligator and an emu. I don't care what the law has to say about it. Money talks.
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.
