New Zealanders are embracing the reusable bag ahead of a plastic bag ban, but they could be carrying something else around – bacteria.

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.

"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."

Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #518

Dear President Obama,

Even though I am not qualified in any way to be a Supreme Court justice, I would still like to be considered for the open seat. Before you dismiss my request as comic nonsense, I'd like to point out that the current primary race to be POTUS makes very clear that lack of qualifications is an advantage. I don't see why that principle doesn�t also apply to SCOTUS. Please know I'm happy to supply my own robe.

Jurisprudently yours,
