The primary role of any parent is to ensure that a child gets a good grounding in life, respects the people around them and stays away from a life of crime. With that in mind, we don't think that 'bandit' is the best aspirational way to refer to a new born baby. That's the route that Gerard Way and Lyn-Z decided to take with their nine-year-old daughter, though, and so we're just going to chalk it up to another case of rock stars doing strange things when they have children.
Way Sr. was the frontman of emo-rock superstars 'My Chemical Romance,' who were an iconic band for alternative youths, and so his choice of a very alternative name for his daughter is probably true to form. Lyn-Z also comes from the alternative world, best known as the bass player of 'Mindless Self Indulgence' - a term that could be used to describe the process by which they arrived at naming their child.
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.
