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.A video filming kids' reactions to an episode of Epic Meal Time, the YouTube sensation that features footage of bacon and beef-based extreme food, has gone viral since being uploaded Sunday.
The YouTube series "Kids React" by The Fine Brothers filmed a group of kids aged 6 to 14 as they watched an episode of the Montreal-based show in which host Harley Morenstein - described as "evil" by one frightened child - creates one of his signature leviathan 50 lb (23 kg) cheeseburgers against an action-themed soundtrack.
As of 3:30 pm GMT July 12, the video, which was uploaded July 10, had received 353,540 hits and has been featured on the Today Show's Digital Life website.
The premise of the show is to film kids as they react to the most viral videos on the web. New episodes are released every Sunday.
Reactions to Epic Meal Time, meanwhile, vary between shock - "Ewww," - and awe - "Yeeeah."
Morgan, 6, licks her lips and whines sweetly, "Makes me hungry."
William, 10, claps in delight and fist pumps the air as soon as he recognizes his gastro-heroes: "Dude, I've subscribed to them..." he says with pride.
But a visibly moved Marlhy recoils in horror, aghast at the carnage before her. She's vegetarian. And she's eight.
"That's really sad ‘cuz I don't eat meat. They should just make veggie burgers."
