How many times have you heard it said that big businesses don't care about their customers? They exist to make money, and so long as the money keeps rolling in, everything is fine by them. They also have no reason whatsoever to do anything nice for anyone unless it benefits them in some way. And that's what makes this picture so special.
Somewhere, there is a Subway store manager who'd walked past lonely, starving homeless people down on their luck one too many times without being able to help them, and decided they'd had enough. And so, without caring what other people thought about it, or whether it would affect paid custom during those hours, they decided to do something wonderful. For two hours, once a week, they would open up the restaurant and feed the homeless for free. Kindness that seeks no reward is the purest form of kindness there is, and it's on display right here.
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.
