Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Given that some believe the world is slated to end Saturday, May 21 in a spectacular event an American preacher has dubbed 'The Rapture,' here's a list of last supper meal ideas to whet your appetite and go out with a bang.
Harold Camping, leader of Family Radio Worldwide a Christian radio station in California, issued a doomsday forecast, based, he claims on biblical texts, predicting that the Rapture will begin at 6 pm PDT, in which God's elect will be beamed into Heaven. The world itself, meanwhile, is scheduled to perish five months later on October 21. Only 200 million - or three percent of the world's population - is expected to be chosen.
For the rest of the people left, here are a few last supper meal ideas inspired by celebrity chefs, as chronicled in the 2007 book, My Last Supper, photographed by Melanie Dunea.
A second, updated edition of the book My Last Supper: The Next Course, is also slated for publication in September - lucky timing if the world is due to impode on itself one month later, as some evangelical groups claim.
