We all love Banksy's artwork, but this piece really got us thinking! We're all familiar with the dove and olive branch as the international peace symbol, but Banksy has really transformed the original message and makes us see it in a completely different light.
This piece of art portrays how the symbol of peace needs protection. As there are some people who simply wish to destroy things and cause terror for no reason. Today preaching peace comes with a price, as there are far too many people who profit from the hate and terror that has spread all around us. When you take a closer look, you will be able to see the sad reality we choose to ignore each day. That we have lost far too many in the battle against terror.
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.
