One the one had I can understand Mystique's inner dilemma. She feels that no one will accept her for what she really is because she's blue and scaley. They only like her when she puts on a facade. Who can't relate to that? I've pretended to like football to make friends, even though I've only watched three games in my entire life. It's exactly what being a teen can feel like.
Where that falls apart is that other people can't literally change themselves. Who cares if no one likes your blue and scaley self if you can literally look like anyone. She can be whoever she wants. I have to pretend to like football. I'd kill to actually like it. Ultimately it comes down to the fact that I actually dig the blue skin and scales, so I have no sympathy for her.
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.
