There's a lot going on in this picture. We have a dingo eating the beached torso of a shark, whilst apparently watching two snakes mating. Is the dingo a voyeur? Did seeing a shark being eaten put the snakes in the mood for some romance? What were the chances of going out for a walk and actually stumbling across this scene?
Actually, the chances were close to zero. There's some photographic trickery going on here; two different pictures have been merged together and entered into a competition to find a photo that sums up Australia. That doesn't take away from the fact that in the Land Down Under, sharks wash up on beaches and get eaten by dingoes, though, and we think that's pretty remarkable in its own right! As for the snakes; they're just having a good time. Leave them to it!
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.
