food in the news

Junk food news (also known as junk news or junk journalism) is a sardonic term for news stories that deliver "sensationalized, personalized, and homogenized inconsequential trivia",
especially when such stories appear at the expense of serious investigative journalism. It implies a criticism of the mass media for disseminating news that, while not very nourishing, is "cheap to produce and profitable for media proprietors."

    State banquet menu

    The state banquet at Windsor castle in honour of Trump's visit (for 160 people). I find this menu very underwhelming. I know they have to play safe, but it seems uninspired to me. No mention of vegan options although I am sure they would be available. Hampshire Watercress Panna Cotta with...
