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.IS WILL CARLING a new-ish man? You bet he is. Of an evening Will likes to cook, while his pretty girlfriend has to work away on her lap-top in their pleasant piney kitchen. Will particularly likes to produce a myco-protein spag bol, made with the ingenious vegetable substance Quorn. While he's chopping the onions and stirring in the pale-grey Quorn pellets, his girlfriend's really doing the voice-over, getting across the key copy points, precisely to time, namely that Quorn is low in fat, a terrific source of protein and there's nothing artificial about it.
They're enormously useful, these modern middle-class sports people with their companionate relationships and their healthy lifestyles. (Sally Gunnell and Mr Sally Gunnell - see How We Met, page 78 - appear in the companion Quorn commercial.) What better advocates could there be for the case that there's nothing queer about Quorn. Quorn might be perceived - to use the marketing-speak - as just a bit valetudinarian and nut-cutlet-ish, a bit lacking in life's oomph-factors.
But with Will and Sally and their nicely spoken consorts and their healthy lifestyles it is redeemed, part of a nice world of young, successful, pleasant- looking people who know how to look after themselves and keep their bodies ready tuned for absolutely anything . . . As the mass-avoidance trend moves against meat - beef in particular - Quorn is positioning itself to fill the gap in the lives of the kinds of couples who prefer a nice stir-fry to a fry-up.
