If you're like me, having a reference to Facebook in a show title makes me gag. If we're lucky 'friending someone' won't even be a thing in a couple of years, so for the show's premise to rely on Facebook makes me a little weary. It's about an atheist who has his life turned upside down when God friends him on Facebook. It sounds more like a premise for a Saturday Night Live sketch than a show, but it could possibly confront a lot of philosophical questions. Seeing as though it's on CBS, those philosophical questions will probably be very tame.
Give this show a chance, but be prepared to give up on it if it sticks to the whole Facebook thing too much. Sometimes the ideas with the most potential turn out to be the corniest.
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.
