Millennials are popular targets for the tabloid press. Young people are criticized for everything from their style to their sexuality, and are routinely dismissed as snowflakes, overly sensitive, or unrealistic about their social and political beliefs. It's no wonder they sometimes seem to have so little hope for the future.
Not content with critiquing just about everything about the way their children and grandchildren choose to conduct their lives, the older generation have now started blaming their descendants for the closure of several businesses, and the death of established traditions. Apparently, there's nothing that can't be wrecked by the young.
In this list article, we're going to take a look at every dying trade and practice which the press has accused millennials of sabotaging and killing off. It's almost like they believe the under-35s are doing it by choice, as opposed to the fact they just don't have any money!
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.
