Have you ever picked up a bag of peanuts, read the text that says 'warning: may contain peanuts,' and wondered who messed up so badly that it became necessary to put that warning there? You're looking at one of those people right now. Everybody knows that putting a plastic bag over your head is a surefire way to starve yourself of oxygen and die. Everybody, that is, apart from this child's mother.
The issue here isn't just that the child has a bag over its head - it's that it's happening right in front of the mother, and she's just looking past it like it's the most normal thing in the world. Does this happen at home? We have issues with the person who took the photograph in this case as well. Don't just stand there with your phone camera - intervene and save the child's life! When you're done with that get on the phone to the child protection agency immediately and make sure this woman is sent for urgent parental training.
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.
