This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

By Temporary (?) Royal Appointment?
Kendamil is the only UK-made baby milk brand. It was used to wean Prince Louis of Cambridge. The Kendamil makers have now been given special permission by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to fly 100 truckloads of their product to the US (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/25/uk-baby-milk-maker-to-fly-formula-to-us-to-help-ease-shortages). Provision of baby milk in the US is normally a 'closed shop'. 95% is supplied by that country's top four producers. The FDA's temporary (until November) permission is to cover for shortages. US shortages of baby milk were caused by Abbott Laboratories, closing its Michigan facility and recalling batches of their product. The links between Abbott Laboratory baby milk, bacterial contamination and baby deaths are still being investigated.
