Bear gobbles Great Bear cookies Brazen bruin breaks into vehicle, steals ‘paleo’ diet-friendly treats
BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
Some cheekily named baked goods will soon be living up to their name after a bear broke into a car parked in the British
Properties Saturday night. Tracy Lydiatt was visiting friends on Rabbit Lane for the weekend and left her “Great Bear Patties,” in the car overnight. She awoke Sunday morning to neighbours alerting her
the rear window had been smashed. Lydiatt said she immediately knew it wasn’t the work of a human. “All of our valuables were there. Looking around the broken window, there was a lot of mud and slobber, basically, and then I found some black hairs on the car. Also there’s some claw marks on the leather,” she said.
Lydiatt developed the organic, gluten-free, non-genetically modified, soy-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegan chocolate coconut gogi berry cookies to market to fellow Crossfit athletes, who like to keep to a “paleo” diet consisting of only natural ingredients that would have been available to foraging cavemen. Bears appear to have that
in common with Crossfitters, Lydiatt noted. “We also actually had a bag of Cheezies in the car and it didn’t touch that so we’ve been joking about the bear having good taste,” she said. The name came from the treat’s (physical) resemblance to bear scat. “As I was stirring it in the bowl the first time, I looked
down and thought ‘These look like bear poop,’” she said. ‘It’s a cheeky, inspiredby-nature name.” Ironically, Lydiatt had just one bag with her, which she had brought to town because of her nomination for the B.C. Food Processors Association’s Rising Star award. See Residents page 5
