In this weird modern world, you can now get paid significant amount of money by a website to cook for complete strangers, all of whom will pay to come and sit around your table and be hosted by you. You wine and dine them and keep them entertained, they go home happy and full, and you earn up to $700 each time you do it.
We're not making this up. The website is EatWith.com, and it's accepting applications right now. Do you have a specialty dish? Are people forever pestering you to make pizza, curry or steak for them because you do it better than anyone else? You could be about to become your neighborhood's next event chef. And with the money you make from it, you could even pay somebody else to do the staggering amount of washing up you'll be faced with every evening.
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.
