In the 1950s we had 700 different chemicals in our food Today we have over 10,000 in our food In Europe, they only have 700 still today. Kelloggs makes the safer Canadian version and the American version. Two different options, same manufacturer. Americans have been sold out sadly.

A second man, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, has died at Delaney Hall, the inhumane ICE detention center run by private prison contractor GEO Group. GEO Group’s profits have soared by over 700% since Trump has been back in office. Imagine profiting from death and suffering. Deplorable.

El-Sayed: "Mike, I'm gonna say it right now, I know you're gonna say no because you're a coward: Five debates, alright? ... By the time we're done, you are not gonna have safe quarter from people holding you accountable to what you've done for them here in Michigan. We will send you back to Florida"

Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.

El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"

Last week a bag of litter was dumped, and serious harm was only averted by the vigilance of the public and quick action of staff, as pictured. Other grazing cattle and horses have suffered injuries from broken glass, while council and ODS staff have rescued swans that became entangled in litter.

Oxford City Council is reminding residents and visitors to the city's open spaces in the current warm weather to dispose of their rubbish, particularly in Port Meadow. In recent years, two cows, including a seven-month-old calf, died after eating plastic bags, balloons and other discarded rubbish.

As balance to the other post that is doing numbers on our feed... Bishops Court Farm in Wallingford has announced the birth of Franklin the baby alpaca. He’s apparently "curious, excitable, and loves zooming around the alpaca field!"

The cutest alpaca you ever did see, nuzzling, we presume its mother.
