AG Takes On Grocery Giants, Cage-Free Eggs, and DQ Hot Takes
The cost of groceries is too damn high! And it could be going even higher, based on the reporting from our guest for this week’s news round-up. Denver Post reporter Megan Ulu-lani Boyanton joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to talk about Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s look into the local impacts of the proposed $25 billion Albertson’s/Kroger merger, the old law driving up the price of eggs, Dairy Queen, and more. Plus, Hey Denver newsletter editor Peyton Garcia joins us to pick our Official Maybe For Your Weekend, because as usual, she’s got lots of great ideas for cool stuff happening across the city in today’s Hey Denver newsletter.
Here are Megan’s stories on Kroger/Albertson’s and AG Weiser, and the new regulations on eggs.
Here are the stories we thought went overlooked this week:
Megan - “From heart disease to IUDs: How doctors dismiss women’s pain”
Bree -”Certain Denver Parks Warn Adults Without Children to Stay Away”
Paul - “Scientists Achieve Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough With Blast of 192 Lasers”
