Emus can be quite a big problem in the "land down under." Take a look at the above photo, for example. The police had to intervene because two emus, a male, and a female, had blocked several streets in the city, becoming a hazard for everyone involved. Luckily, police in Australia are nice (they are almost Canadian in nature), and they didn't harm the two large birds - how could they, just look how cute they are.
Eventually, the emus were taken to safety and hopefully they learned their lesson to not block streets again. Although other emus (and probably kangaroos, since this is Australia we're talking about) probably do block the streets in Australia on a frequent basis. That shouldn't even be such a bad thing, as just seeing exotic animals on the street can be enough to make anyone's day better.
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.
