>>In the case of bears, any food attracts them, more so if they  are 
"garbage can" bears - accustomed to eating people  food. <<
 
Oh yes bears...forgot about them. :O) they are more of a nuisance than  
anything else, but on occasions they get aggressive if they think you got food. 
 I haven't heard of any bear problems in the San Diego area that I usually  
observed. However I once observed from the Sequoia area near Shaver Lake. 
Our  family was at a campground. I observed all night about 200 feet outside 
of the  campground. During the night, I heard some screaming and other 
ruckus. When day  break came, I found out that some little kid had eaten smores 
(chocolate and  cookie combo) and had it smeared all over his face. the kid 
woke up to a bear  licking his face. No harrm was done, but apparently it 
scared the break fluid  out of the child and everyone around.
