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."

    Well - maybe you don't like Weetabix at all - but if you do, tell us how you eat it. In the UK, the promotion 'Any-Which-Way-A-Bix' invites photographs of favourite ways to eat the cereal. Since the prize for the 'best' is £10,000, I thought it worth a punt to make a few entries. So any...
