Here's a little parenting tip. Your kid's lunches don't need to be anything spectacular as long as you leave a little note in the lunchbox and something sweet. As long as those two things are there, all is forgiven. A note can go a long way to making a kid feel good during the school day. I should know. I could have used a note in my lunchbox those many lonely days. I was getting bullied relentlessly. My friends would ask me, "why don't you talk to your mom about the people bullying you?" I'd look up at them through teary eyes and say, "because my mom is the bully."

This parent must have been upset with their child and decided not to make their sandwich with the love that they usually put into it. Wheat bread, mustard, mayonnaise, turkey, lettuce, tomato and love.

Did You Know...

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.
