From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Burger King has launched a new range of meals which match a customer's food selection to their temperament.
Dubbed "Real Meals", the aim of the campaign is to demonstrate that "no one is happy all the time, and that's OK", the fast food chain stated on social media.
The meals featured in the range include a Pissed Meal, a Blue Meal, a Salty Meal, a YAAAS Meal and a DGAF (don't give a f**k) Meal.
"Feeling blue? Salty? Pissed? YAAAS? Or simply like you DGAF? That’s ok. No one is happy all the time," the eatery wrote on Instagram.
The meals can be ordered from selected Burger King restaurants in the US when buying a Whopper meal, which includes a flame-grilled Whopper sandwich, chips and a drink.
The "Real Meals" have been created in collaboration with Mental Health America (MHA), in order to shine a light on the importance of mental health issues.
"While not everyone would think about pairing fast food and mental health, MHA believes in elevating the conversation in all communities in order to address mental illness," said Paul Gionfriddo, president and CEO of the mental health organisation.
"By using its internationally-known reputation to discuss the importance of mental health, Burger King is bringing much-needed awareness to this important and critical discussion – and letting its customers know that is OK to not be OK.”
Burger King has also released a short film to accompany the campaign, titled "#FeelYourWay".
The video shows several individuals experiencing various situations that heighten their emotions, such as being verbally abused at school and quitting a job.
"Not everybody wakes up happy. Sometimes you feel sad, scared, crappy. All I ask is that you let me feel my way," one of the actors says in the film.
Mental disorders affect approximately one in four people, the World Health Organisation states.
