In 2023, the California Forever group, a company backed by a gaggle of Bay Area billionaires, announced that it wanted to use some 60,000 acres of Solano County farmland north of San Francisco to develop a brand new city.

Now, however, the same group says that it has a new project that may be significantly easier to accomplish. In a blog post made to its website last week, the

The 5 Best Protein Bars a Fitness Expert Has Tested in 2025

The total sugars are under 20 grams, but don't include added sugars since they vary depending on the protein bar. This is a dense protein bar, and while higher in calories than others on the list, it can be good to have on hand if
