Can we set the record straight on what political correctness really is? It's not worrying about everything you say and not saying half of the English dictionary anymore. If you're confused about it at all, this is all it is: If someone says they don't like you doing or saying something, don't do that or say that to them anymore. If I told you I don't like when you call me Jules, because my name is Julio, you would understand. All of a sudden people get weird when you say, "I don't like it when you say the N word." That's when conservatives get all, "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS! YOU'RE TAKING MY FREE SPEECH!"
Democrats don't care so much about being politically correct as if that were some kind of shackle to free speech. We're just cognisant that there are words and actions that hurt others.
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.
