Do you know what poses health risks in California? Everything. Everything poses a health risk in California. Don’t believe me? Start checking labels. You may be surprised at the number of products that have been shown to increase the risk of cancer and other health issues in California, including my lawnmower. Seriously, there is a warning label on my lawnmower. I have to look at it every time I start my mower up. A few years ago, my wife and I were touring Napa’s wine country because I am a wine snob. We stopped at a gas station to tank up, and I wanted a drink. The convenience store had one of those coffee islands. You know what I mean. It had several varieties of coffee, cups, stir sticks, different creamers, and all that good stuff. It also had a sign warning me that those products have been shown to increase health risks in California. I guess the moral of the story is that if you want a cup of joe in California, buy it at the Nevada border and drink it on the other side of the state line. Then, maybe you’ll safe.
True to form, Gavin Newsom’s nanny state has come up with something else to ban: Skittles. Ooh, bad show, California. With Pride Month just weeks away, this is no time to tell people that they can’t “taste the rainbow.”
