The most recent movie on this list, 'Love, Simon' was only released in 2018 but has already made a considerable impact on the LGBT community. The plot sounds like familiar ground; it's another romantic teen-comedy with most of the laughs being at the expense of a closeted boy who doesn't feel ready to come out, but it has a twist.
Nick Robinson's main character is trying to solve a mystery; someone at his school is communicating with him online and has told him that they're in love with him. All he needs to do is track them down. At the same time, someone's trying to blackmail him about his sexuality. Could the same person be responsible for both the affection and the trauma? 'Love Simon' is the first movie by a big Hollywood movie company to have a gay romance as a centerpiece. We're still having 'firsts,' even in this day and age.
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.
