At first glance those may look like satellites orbiting the Earth, but on closer inspection we see that they are trash cans. What's so bad about throwing trash cans up into space? All You have to do is make sure you throw the cans super far into orbit. There's plenty of room out there in space. You could even say there's a lot of space in space. To be honest, this isn't so much of a critique on society as it is a good idea.
Although it may be a decent solution to our trash problems, it sheds light on the fact that we even need a solution. Think about ketchup packets alone. Those things aren't going anywhere. I have enough in my kitchen drawer to provide all the ketchup the world needs, yet we continue making them.
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.
