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."

    Onion Skin Ash

    What's she talking about? Well, hubby sent me a link about it because I collect and store all of our onion skins, red or brown, to use as a natural dye for my spinning. It produces a lovely rich bronze colour and saves me walking to the compost heap every time I cut up an onion. However, it...

    Screw-cap or cork?

    Whether you’re a casual wine drinker or you consider yourself more of a connoisseur, chances are you have your opinions about screw-cap bottles.
