There are some pieces that instantly spark a thought, and this thought-provoking piece will surely light a fire in your mind. We live in a world that offers freedom and equality, so to speak, but how much of that is really true?
This piece is by an unknown artist who clearly understands and portrays how we live in an illusion. It might seem that we have the freedom of speech, and the power to change the world. However, we are just pawns handled and controlled by the powerful and wealthy. It does not stop there - today social media and news channels are set in motion to control our minds and boost the illusion we live in. Which is why it is time we really think about the so-called "freedom" we are being offered.
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.
