Tuna has saved my life so many times. Often I've been on a ramen or quesadilla diet due to extreme poverty, and sometimes you just have to mix it up. Throw a little bit of tuna in there for the protein. It's cheap and does the job. Too bad now it's all infected with mercury, so it'll be the death of me, despite keeping me alive for so many years. It's poetic really. I'm sure Shakespeare wrote something similar to it.
If there's any breeding ground for fishy ideas, it's pizza. It's just too easy to put something on pizza, especially if we're talking about a cheap frozen pizza. You won't catch me eating one of those without adding some of my own cheese to it. That's the secret to living a gourmet life on a poor-man's budget. That and stealing from your friends.
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.
