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.A hospital patient has become so disgruntled by meal times he has resorted to taking photographs of his food and inviting bloggers to guess what the dish is.
The blogger, who identifies himself as “Traction Man”, has been in hospital for 20 weeks undergoing treatment to correct skeletal problems. He says he was “struck down by a bone and flesh-eating bug”. To pass the time the 47-year-old has taken to provided a daily review of his meals – uploading photographs from his mobile phone.
“The entrees tend to be uniform beige,” he explains. “Most of the vegetables need to go in a spin dryer before you get to eat them. And the jam roly-poly certainly tastes like it’s been rolled – right across the kitchen floor.”
His followers correctly guessed about half of the dishes.
Can you fare any better? It’s not easy. The Department of Health declined to identify the most mysterious dish from this most unappetising of parades (it was chilli con carne).
