Martin Scorsese is a phenomenal film director, and he's achieved everything within the field. However, back in 1969 he was very young, and not as adept as he would go on to be. He also physically couldn't be everywhere at the same time. If you were on the main stage at the same time he was filming, your performance made it onto his documentary, and your profile was boosted worldwide. If you weren't, then even if you were a major act at the time, it's likely that most people don't even know you played Woodstock. That has to be frustrating.
Different performers found themselves impacted by this in different ways. For Joan Baez, the woman in the picture, she became an icon of the festival and forever linked with the event in many people's minds. For Sly and the Family Stone, however, it was as if they'd never played at all even though they were a massive act during the era.
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.
