Australia has long been known for its unique wildlife, and among its most iconic animals is the kangaroo. Yet, despite efforts to promote kangaroo meat as a sustainable and healthy protein source, consumer resistance remains stubbornly high. The disconnect between environmental benefits and public perception highlights a deeper cultural and psychological barrier that marketers have struggled to overcome.

In a surprising move last week, President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on countries around the world, labeling groceries an “old-fashioned” and “beautiful term.” However, supermarket executives and food industry experts warn that these policies will make America’s groceries more expensive. The impact will be felt across every section of the store, from fresh and packaged foods to household basics.

In a dramatic turn of events that sent shockwaves through global financial markets, President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on the “reciprocal” tariffs that had just taken effect on Wednesday. This decision, which excludes China, marks a significant shift from Trump’s previous stance that high tariffs were here to stay. The announcement came as a relief to Wall Street, which had been on edge, anxiously awaiting any sign that Trump might soften his approach to tariffs. The immediate impact was a historic rally in US stocks, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging 2,963 points, or 7.87%, the S&P 500 rising 9.52%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite soaring 12.16%. This marked the best day for the S&P 500 since October 2008 and the third-best day for the index since its modern-day version was formed in 1957. The Nasdaq posted its best day since January 2001 and its second-best day in its history, while the Dow had its best day in five years.

In a surprising move, President Donald Trump declared a three-month suspension on all "reciprocal" tariffs that had just taken effect at midnight, with China being the sole exception. This announcement represents a significant shift for a president who previously maintained that high tariffs were a permanent fixture. Despite this pause, China, the world’s second-largest economy, will still face substantial tariffs, which Trump has now raised from 104% to 125%, following China’s announcement of further retaliatory tariffs against the US earlier on Wednesday.

In a dramatic turn of events, President Donald Trump's top trade official, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, revealed that he was not informed of the 90-day pause on most new tariffs until after it was announced. This revelation came at the same moment Greer was defending Trump’s stiff tariffs during a House hearing. Meanwhile, Trump declared on his social media platform that the administration would delay the additional tariff hike on dozens of countries by 90 days, with the exception of China. The tariffs, which had gone into effect for mere hours on Wednesday, were the sharpest ever according to data going back 200 years, Fitch Ratings told. Most economists agree that if these tariffs had remained in place, they would have likely resulted in higher inflation and weaker economic growth.

The beauty stores in Manhattan’s Koreatown are usually bustling, even on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. However, the recent imposition of tariffs on South Korean goods has cast a shadow over the industry. According to an associate in one of the stores, popular sunscreens have changed their formulas since they are now manufactured in the United States, and some products have been sold out for weeks. The situation could worsen if the proposed 25% tariffs on South Korea go through.

Delta Air Lines has issued a stark warning that its revenue could decline in the current quarter, citing “broad economic uncertainty around global trade” as the primary reason. The airline’s CEO, Ed Bastian, has expressed growing concern that the US economy may be heading into a recession. This development underscores the far-reaching impact of trade tensions and economic uncertainty on industries that are not directly involved in trade disputes.

On Wednesday, China unveiled retaliatory tariffs of 84% on imports of US goods, matching the additional tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump earlier in the day. This move has further inflamed the trade war between the world’s two largest economies. Trump’s sweeping “reciprocal” tariffs, which took effect earlier on Wednesday, hit China the hardest, with a levy now totaling at least 104% on all its goods. The two countries have been locked in a tit-for-tat trade battle, with Beijing firmly standing against each new tariff introduced by Washington.

In the annals of economic policy, few actions have sparked as much controversy and uncertainty as the imposition of tariffs. Despite rattled financial markets, threats of retaliation, and even some of his biggest supporters urging him to reconsider, President Donald Trump pressed forward with his signature economic policy. On Wednesday, his administration rolled out a series of new "reciprocal" tariffs on dozens of American allies and adversaries alike. The stated goal was to restore fairness and boost American manufacturing, but the reality on the ground is far more complex and fraught with risk.

In a groundbreaking development for sustainable agriculture, Canada has emerged as a leader in vertical farming, with recent studies showing that the cost of producing lettuce in vertical farms is now 20% lower than traditional farming methods. This shift marks a significant milestone in the quest for more efficient and environmentally friendly food production systems.

In the world of agriculture, few products are as essential and ubiquitous as eggs. They are a staple in kitchens across America, a symbol of simplicity and sustenance. Yet, behind the humble egg lies a complex web of supply, demand, and pricing that has recently thrust one company into the spotlight: Cal-Maine Foods, the largest U.S. egg producer. This Mississippi-based giant has found itself at the center of a storm, facing an investigation by the antitrust division of the U.S. Department of Justice. As the investigation unfolds, the ripple effects are being felt not only in the financial markets but also in the broader economy.

In the bustling streets of Seoul, a quiet culinary revolution is taking place. The latest sensation sweeping through South Korea’s food scene isn’t a high-tech gadget or a viral dessert—it’s a humble yet innovative creation: the seaweed burger. Dubbed the "future of fast food," this plant-based alternative is challenging traditional beef patties not only in taste but also in its environmental impact. As sustainability becomes a growing concern worldwide, South Korea’s embrace of the seaweed burger highlights a shift toward eco-conscious eating without sacrificing flavor.

In the heart of Paris, a quiet revolution is taking place in the culinary world. A handful of pioneering restaurants have embraced the "zero waste" philosophy, transforming what was once considered scraps into gourmet delights. These establishments are challenging the norms of fine dining by proving that sustainability and haute cuisine can coexist harmoniously. From carrot tops to fish bones, nothing goes to waste in their kitchens. The movement isn’t just about reducing trash—it’s a complete reimagining of how we value food.

The streets of London have witnessed an unusual culinary revolution in recent months, where diners queue around the block not for Michelin-starred tasting menus, but for dishes crafted from ingredients most supermarkets would discard. These pioneering establishments – dubbed "leftover restaurants" – have sparked a movement that challenges our fundamental understanding of food waste, sustainability, and gourmet dining.
