You know where this misconception comes from? That fact that there are more people in the major West Coast and East Coast cities than all of middle America. At the end of the day, screw what you want. HAHA. Just kidding, but no, we do care about you. You're just a very tiny voice. In actually, Democrats do care about middle America, although those states have often leaned Republican, so not as much effort is put into them. That's understandable. It's like complaining that Republicans don't care about California. They don't. Both statements are just about as true.
Misconceptions are always going to happen. Middle America has their own stereotypes, just like everywhere else. We could all use to take some time to reflect on the stereotypes about us so we can see if they hold any truth. If they do, we can work to fix them in ourselves. Sound like a plan?
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.
