Sales of full fat milk 'on the rise' say producers

Full-fat milk is back in fashion — Guernsey Dairy reports a 30% rise in whole milk sales since 2019, and Tesco says full-fat volumes have more than doubled in two years.
Younger shoppers are driving the shift, seeking “natural” and higher-protein options, with island dairies reporting strong demand and export orders for whole milk.
Nutritionists say whole milk can fit a balanced diet, but heart-health experts warn it has substantially more saturated fat and calories than reduced‑fat options.

West Northamptonshire Council has again refused McDonald’s second bid to make its Kettering Road (Northampton) branch open 24/7 — a legal appeal is possible.
Locals worry round‑the‑clock trading would bring more cooking smells, car noise, late‑night shouting and have even reported rats.
McDonald’s says 24/7 hours would create about 20 jobs, improve shift patterns and only add roughly 35 overnight customers based on other sites.

The dramatic moment came less than two weeks after his mother’s death; Smith says teammates were deeply supportive during her cancer battle and passing.

UConn is a massive favorite over Notre Dame (spread -27.5) after an 85-47 regular-season rout — can the Irish even make it interesting this time?
UCLA hosts Duke (spread -11.5) in a rematch — Duke lost big earlier but has ripped off 17 straight wins and an ACC title, so can they avenge that loss?
South Carolina is heavily favored vs. TCU (spread -13.5) — the Gamecocks have made five straight Final Fours and two titles in five years, so this looks like a tough ask for TCU.
