40. New Dining Arrangements

It's always a happy moment when your baby is big enough to sit at the table and join you for a meal, or at least it's happy for about thirty seconds. That's how long it's likely to take you to realize that your little treasure now has access to the full range of plates, condiments, and cutlery on the table, and has no qualms about throwing them whenever it pleases.

When adults sit and dine together, you can go elbow to elbow. So long as there's enough room to eat your food in comfort, it's a case of 'the more the merrier.' When there's a child involved, they need their own exclusion zone to keep things out of their reach. That means they now have most of the table space to themselves. They didn't come to share your table with you; they came to rule it.

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.
