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."

    Bland food - a new trend for 2026?

    No I'm not joking and yes I'm being a bit provocative. I did actually read this somewhere, although I think there was a touch of humour in the suggestion. In the last (maybe 25 years), food has increasingly become more and more dominated by use of spices, pastes and exotic flavours. Not only...
