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.The frozen food manufacturer Birds Eye (whose adverts used to feature a white-bearded sea captain) has decided to remove certain artificial colourings, flavourings and preservatives from its products. Although there has never been proof that additives cause hyperactivity in children, parents have long been suspicious. Birds Eye's decision to get rid of such "unnatural" ingredients, (and advertise the fact), shows the market does respond to consumer demand. Ifthe new products are popular, other manufacturers will surely follow. Then frozen food might stand a chance of being good enough for the captain's table.
