The people in Montana must be eating well. The cost of housing here isn't far from the national average at barely over $10,000, but their $8,154 food cost is more in line with what we'd expect to see from a northeastern state. Residents of the state might just be eating well while the going is good; Yellowstone National Park is in Montana, and when the volcano beneath it finally explodes, we're all doomed. The people sat right on top of it will be the first to go!
If you took a walk right across the state of Montana from one side to the other, you might not see a single living soul for the whole duration. 46 out of the 56 counties in the state are classed as 'frontier counties,' within which there are fewer than six people living in every square mile. That must get a little lonely at times!
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.
