With that info I assume CA will start regulating cardiovascular health very soon like they do guns. I mean if we can save just 1 life I think we should just make sure our kids cannot “get” a cardiovascular disease and if you by gosh give someone a Twinkie you should be held accountable!!!!

I got a good laugh reading the Chronicle this morning where the valley almond farmers were griping about Trump's trade war with China and that they weren't going to get any of the $12BN in taxpayer bailout for farmers impacted by the tariffs. They were complaining that they export hundreds of millions of dollars worth of nuts to China and that they should be first in line for federal aid.

Wait what? they are growing almonds to export to China???? I guess the next time they say they need more water "because they grow food and food is important!" we should ask them who exactly they are growing it for?

We laugh at the Chinese as they pillage and pollute their country to make i-phones and all sorts of cheap plastic crapola for us...but we are destroying our rivers so they can have almond chicken! the joke is on us.

Well said.....

Anybody see the PBS version of "Night of the Grizzlies"? Obviously, human error. Still, watch it late at night when it's quiet and similar conditions that the campers faced...... Real life horror.

Grizzly bears are scary and kill thousands of people a year, best to avoid ID/WY/MT.

Yes! Best to stay away from these states!

If we are going to import some grizzles can we put a few dozen in the Capital.
