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."

    The Best Processors, Mixers and Blenders chosen by Chefs

    No real surprises here. The best food processors, mixers and blenders – chosen by chefs I think though as they’re commenting on their own equipment some of which will be quite old that it can’t really take into account the changes in quality with brands like Kitchen Aid.
