Aziz Ansari was both to Muslim parents - both of whom are doctors - in Columbia, South Carolina. He graduated with a degree in marketing. What did he then choose to do with his life? Why, become an atheist stand-up comedian of course! Ansari's best-known early work was probably his part in 'Parks and Recreation,' although it could be argued that 'Master of None' shone a brighter spotlight on him as an individual as opposed to being part of a cast.
Since 2014, he's largely stopped taking on acting roles and appeared as himself, with an increasing focus on stand-up material. Most of his work can now be found on Netflix. Away from the stage, he and two friends often dress up as sailors, go to high-end restaurants, and award them with a plaque indicating that their menu has been 'approved by the Food Club' if they enjoy their meal. According to Ansari, the restaurants frequently have no idea who he is, and put the plaque on the wall as if he were an important food critic.
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.
