This is hands down the best thing I’ve seen all day. I am COMPLETELY joining you in this passionate hobby. My baked goods are forever changed. Just saying.
Fricking hilarious. Total side note, but I wanted to look at the activated charcoal lemonade post and now I can’t find it. Real question: can it be paired with vodka? #balance
yes of course it can!
i took the post down. people were freaking out calling it ‘dangerous’ and ‘irresponsible’ thinking that charcoal is actually poison… which it’s not. I didn’t want to deal with the madness so I just took the post down for now.
Nobody was doing that, from what I saw. People were interrogating your pseudo-scientific assertions that we need special soft drinks to eliminate “toxins.” Activated charcoal is fun and a good idea and not poison at all; presenting it as medicine is, in fact, irresponsible. You can advocate for fun ingredients without blindly parroting Woo.
I took the post down because I wasn’t really interested in debates like this. I don’t write a scientific health blog, so perhaps Joy the Baker isn’t the appropriate space for that sort of recipe in the first place. Activated charcoal is not my soapbox. Not a big deal.

That is such a classy response to a rude poster and your chill attitude is one of the reasons why I always check out your blog. Happy Holidays!

And this response, my dear, is the reason why your blog is one of my favorites. And of course the recipes.
