48. Hot Dog!

The harsh reality about global warming is that some organisms just won't be able to live if it gets hotter than they can stand. Mostly that means microorganisms, but just looking at the endangered species list you can see that we have bigger problems too. That's not even to think about what kind of diseases are hiding in the melting ice. It's a lot to think about, so let's be like congress and just ignore it.

This cartoon shows an extreme version of what I'm talking about. We're talking about it getting so hot that little animals just burst into flames. I definitely don't see a pug lasting very long in 120 degree heat. I don't' even see myself lasting that long in heat like that. I think it's a good time to get into the air conditioning business.

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.
