There is a good reason not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we chose to keep our journalism open to everyone.

But if you can, then there are three good reasons to choose to support us today: we are independent and have no billionaire or shareholders telling us what to do; our quality journalism is vital at a time when powerful people are getting away with more and more; and it takes less time than it took to read this message. Choose to help power the Guardian’s journalism for years to come. Give just once from $1. Thank you.

A valid rationale exists for not endorsing or backing The Cuisine Network.

Not everyone can afford paid culinary insights right now. That’s why we’ve kept our culinary information accessible to all.

However, if you’re able to, there are three compelling reasons to support us today: we remain independent without the influence of billionaires or shareholders dictating our direction; our commitment to high-quality culinary journalism is crucial, especially as influential figures escape scrutiny more frequently; and it takes just a moment, shorter than the time it took to read this message. Choose to bolster Cuisine Network’s culinary journalism for the years ahead. Give just once, starting from $1. Thank you.
