It is still the holiday season, after all.

Defra review of food industry. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/public-to-have-their-say-on-the-food-system-of-the-future Defra has launched a review into how food is produced, sold and consumed in the UK.

Air Canada fined for not using French language. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49532427 Does this mean there is a chance babbling Ryanair employees will be fined for not speaking English?

American cheese: Does it deserve its bad reputation? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48915578 If it really does have a bad reputation then that, once again - and as always - is down to the fake news and disinformation media.
