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.There's nothing inherently wrong with Instagramming photos of your dinner. It's no worse than pictures of your goddamn legs on the beach, or your goddamn kid hanging upside down from a swing. But an entire restaurant set up around the photography of its food rather than the taste is pushing it.
Catit, a restaurant in Tel Aviv, has started a series of 'Foodography' dinners, where the food is presented on social media-optimised plates and diners are taught how to take the best food photographs. They're proving pretty popular.
There's even a 360 plate so you can spin your food whilst filming it. The dream!
nullAdmittedly, the resultant Instagrams do look pretty good.
But what price Instagram Likes? Maybe in the future science can eliminate the need for sustenance entirely, and we can all get our nutrition from how delicate a radish looks placed on top of some pea foam.
