Hosts of the nationally syndicated radio show and podcast "The Breakfast Club" defended rapper Snoop Dogg on Tuesday after he raised concerns about LGBTQ+ characters in childrens movies.Snoop Dogg explained on Sarah Fontenots podcast "Its Giving" last week that he took his grandson to see Pixar's "Lightyear," which features a same-sex couple.He recalled his grandson quizzing him about how the couple in the film had a child together. Snoop admitted he was unprepared to answer those questions in the middle of a kids film."Im scared to go to the movies. Like, yall throwing me in the middle of s--- that I dont have an answer for," Snoop said.SNOOP DOGG FIRES BACK AT CRITICS CALLING HIM A 'SELLOUT' AFTER TRUMP INAUGURATION PERFORMANCE"It threw me for a loop. Im like what part of the movie was this? These are kids that we have to show that at this age, like, theyre going to ask questions. They are going to ask. I dont have an answer," he continued. "And I was just there to go to sleep and watch the movie. That s--- woke me up."After his comments were widely shared sparking backlash from some progressives on social media "The Breakfast Club" hosts defended his remarks."I wouldnt have explained right then and there in the movie," comedian Jess Hilarious said. "But if my kid had a question, I would tell him, Well, we know two women can't make a baby. Two men can't make a baby. But these days things are different."Co-host DJ Envy stressed that cartoons should not force parents into premature conversations about sex or relationships."Im with Snoop. I dont want to have to explain any of this in a cartoon or a movie if Im taking my child," Envy said.PIXAR STAFF REPORTEDLY 'DEEPLY SADDENED' LGBTQ ELEMENTS WERE CUT FROM STUDIO'S LATEST FILM, 'ELIO'"Im not sure the age of his grandson, but I dont want to have to explain this to my three-year-old, my six-year-old, my seven-year-old, eight-year-old. And not just whether its gay, whether its hetero as well. I dont want to see that if theyre fighting in galaxy land," Envy said.He added that he would avoid taking his child to see movies with those themes."I dont want to explain that story. And if that is part of the story, then Im not going to take my child because I want my kid to just be a kid who enjoys movies and has fun and not have to think about girl on girl, guy on guy, guy on girl, alien on person. Like, I don't want them to think about any of that."Co-host Charlamagne tha God also came to Snoops defense and pushed back on his critics.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"As I sit here right now, I wouldn't know how to answer that question either," he said."I'm just trying to watch a movie. Now I got to Google this later and explain to my kids, 'You know, women can adopt or she might have had a surrogate.' That's just not a question I want to be asked or answer while I'm sitting here watching this children's movie with my grandchild."He continued, "I don't think there's anything wrong with expressing that. And I think everybody who has outrage over that, y'all are part of the problem with this society."Charlamagne said that the rappers detractors shouldve treated his comments as a "teachable moment.""Instead of being so ready to tear somebody down and crucify a person, how about use this moment to teach?" he asked."Lightyear" faced backlash in 2022 for featuring a same-sex kiss between a lesbian couple in the film. The kiss was initially removed but later restored after internal backlash from Pixar employees.Actor Chris Evans, who voiced Buzz Lightyear in the movie,blasted critics of the film at the time."The real truth is those people are idiots," Evans said during a June 2022 interview with Reuters Television. "There's always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before. But those people die off like dinosaurs. I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward, and embrace the growth that makes us human."

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust. Among those caught in the onslaught was retired Israeli Maj-Gen. Noam Tibon. When he learned that terrorists had reached Kibbutz Nahal Oz, where his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters lived, he drove south. Along the way, he pulled survivors from cars, stopped to help soldiers, and ultimately rescued his family.His story is the subject of "The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue," a new documentary by Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich. The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) initially invited the film to its 2025 lineup. Then, just weeks before opening night, TIFF pulled it. Festival officials cited unresolved legal clearance for footage, including material filmed and livestreamed by Hamas, and pointed to the risk of disruptive protests. TheAssociated Press reported TIFFs claim that the filmmakers "had not met certain conditions" and insisted the decision was not about censorship.FILMMAKER ALLEGES CENSORSHIP AFTER TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL DROPS OCT. 7 HAMAS ATTACK DOCUMENTARYIts bad enough that October. 7 survivors and their families have been silenced across the world, with the atrocities constantly denied in a new form of Holocaust revisionism. Now, film festivals are trying to silence Jewishvoices because October. 7 doesnt fit their pro-terrorism narrative. This is a major warning call to every major film festival that antisemitism is not acceptable, just as you wouldnt dare silence a film detailing crimes committed against any other minority.The backlash was immediate. Critics said the festival had effectively given Hamas, a designated terrorist group, veto power over how its crimes are shown to the world. TheNew York Post noted that TIFF pointed to copyright concerns over Hamas own footage, in which Hamas and Gazans self-filmed themselves committing acts of terrorist violence, victimizing, torturing, kidnapping and killing Israelis and foreign nationals.The rationale of the film festival claiming this horrendous footage should have a copyright claim by terrorists is not just absurd and bizarre, it is justification of terrorist acts. The Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation went further, warning that the move "effectively grants Hamas copyright protection over its own war crimes."CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONWithin 24 hours, TIFF reversed course. CEO Cameron Bailey and Avrich issued a joint statement confirming thefilm will screen after all. Bailey admitted the festivals communication was unclear but said "claims that the film was rejected due to censorship are unequivocally false," although communication records show otherwise.The reversal was welcome, but the episode still matters. For survivors and their families, the initial decision felt like a second silencing. The first came from the violence of Oct. 7. The second came from the erasure of their testimony in a cultural forum where it most needs to be heard.This is about more than one documentary. It is a warning to every film festival and cultural institution: If fear of protests or legal loopholes is enough to keep Jewish or Israeli stories off the screen, the precedent is clear: those stories are expendable, and intimidation works.SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTERThat warning is especially urgent right now. The Venice International Film Festival, Telluride, TIFF, and the Busan International Film Festival are all scheduled for the next few weeks. These festivals, and others around the world, will soon face their own choices about whether to protect difficult stories or retreat when controversy looms.TIFF ultimately chose the right path due to pushback and criticism. But it should not take a global outcry for Jewish voices to be heard. Festivals must put policies in place to protect artistic freedom and ensure extremists do not decide what audiences get to see."The Road Between Us" is more than a film. It is a record of survival and resilience in the face of terror. Festivals everywhere should take note: silencing the victims, even briefly, is not acceptable. The role of culture is to tell the truth, even when it is painful.

Republican candidates for statewide office in Virginia are siding with parents who are upset over school transgender bathroom polices, while their Democratic rivals stay largely silent.Fox News Digital reached out to the 2025 candidates for Virginia governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general to ask about their views on transgender students' access to bathrooms.Candidates in the Democratic Party either failed to respond to Fox News Digital's repeated inquiries about the matter, or avoided speaking directly about it, despite the issue garnering national headlines this month."Biological differences matter," GOP Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears told Fox News Digital when reached for comment about the controversial issue. "It is not political. It's common sense, and somebody has to stand up and speak for parents."VIRGINIA LEADERS REBUKE RACIST SIGN TARGETING GOP GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: 'REPULSIVE'The inquiries came after five Virginia school districts were designated "high-risk" by the Department of Education earlier this month over their decision to continue letting students use facilities based on their gender identity. They also followed this month's suspension of two high school-aged males who were accused of sexual harassment after they complained about a transgender-identifying biological female using their locker room."As a mom of three daughters in Virginia public schools, a former federal law enforcement officer, and a candidate for governor, Abigails priority is ensuring that all of Virginias kids are safe and supported," said a representative for former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who is running for governor against Earle-Sears, when reached for comment about the issue.VIRGINIA LT. GOVERNOR ON WHY HER STATE IS AT RISK OF LOSING FEDERAL FUNDING OVER TRANSGENDER BATHROOMS"While Abigails opponent, Winsome Earle-Sears, stokes division and backs the Trump administrations threats to strip funding from Virginia schools, as Virginias next governor, Abigail will work to protect public school funding, address the Commonwealths chronic teacher shortage, and contend with our last-in-the-nation math recovery ranking," the spokesperson continued.Spanberger's spokesperson also slammed Earle-Sears' "decades-long record of trying to defund Virginias public schools" and argued that she has "offered no plan to increase student achievement.""Abigail will continue to focus on preparing students for success and bringing Virginia parents to the table," the spokesperson concluded in their response. "What's [the] deadline to get you something on the Trump admin threatening to pull funding from those five Northern Virginia school divisions?"The other Democrats running for the state's top office, state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, who is running to be lieutenant governor, and Jay Jones, an attorney running to replace Jason Miyares as Virginia's attorney general, did not respond to Fox News Digital's repeated requests for comment on the topic.In 2021, Democratic candidate for governor Terry McAuliffe said during a debate that parents should not be telling schools what to teach their children, a statement that many claimed was a contributing factor to his loss to GOP Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin."It should be noted that this is a common sense issue. This is an 80/20 issue. At least 80% of people think that this is just a matter of common sense," said Josh Hetzler, the attorney representing the families of the two Virginia boys who were disciplined for complaining about a biological female using their locker room. "For time immemorial, we've had boys and boys locker rooms and girls and girls locker rooms."Meanwhile, Earle-Sears' running mate, GOP candidate for lieutenant governor John Reid, was also quick to respond to the issue."Students shouldnt be punished for speaking up about fairness and safety in their own locker room," Reid responded when asked about the boy's suspension. "This is what happens when unchecked ideology overrides common sensekids get silenced instead of protected."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAdditionally, incumbent GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares called out the Virginia school district which disciplined the two boys, for "weaponizing Title IX to punish male students expressing discomfort at being forced to share a locker room with a female student."His opponent, attorney Jay Jones, did not respond to repeated requests for comment on the matter.As a result of the Department of Education's designation of five Northern Virginia school districts as "high risk," their funding will now be subject to "reimbursement status," meaning the districts will now have to pay all expenses "up front" and then subsequently request reimbursements from the federal government."States and school districts cannot openly violate federal law while simultaneously receiving federal funding with no additional scrutiny," said Education Secretary Linda McMahon.

Eating a Mediterranean diet including lots of produce, whole grains and healthy fats while also adding a few healthy lifestyle behaviors could lower your diabetes risk by almost a third.That's according to research published Aug. 25 in Annals of Internal Medicine, which found that following a Mediterranean-style diet along with calorie control, regular activity and professional support cut the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) by 31%.The findings come from the PREDIMED-Plus trial, a six-year study of nearly 4,800 older adults in Spain who were overweight or obese and at risk of diabetes.FRENCH FRIES TIED TO DIABETES RISK, BUT NOT ALL POTATOES 'CREATED EQUAL,' STUDY FINDS"In practical terms, adding calorie control and physical activity to the Mediterranean diet prevented around three out of every 100 people from developing diabetes," co-author Miguel Martnez-Gonzlez, professor at the University of Navarra in Spain, said in a press release."Thats a clear, measurable benefit for public health.""Were facing a global epidemic of diabetes," co-author Frank Hu, Fredrick J. Stare Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, said in the release.Type 2 diabetes is one of the world's fastest-growing health conditions, affecting nearly 16% of U.S. adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Experts say simple lifestyle changes could help prevent millions of new cases.YOUR DNA COULD BE STOPPING YOU FROM LOSING WEIGHT, NEW STUDY SUGGESTSThe Mediterranean diet primarily consists of the following ingredients.This way of eating has been linked to better heart health, improved insulin sensitivity and reduced inflammation.Registered dietitian and food blogger Lauren Harris-Pincus, based in New Jersey, previously spoke to Fox News Digital about the benefits of whole-food diets like this one."Fiber-rich carbohydrates like fruit, veggies, beans/legumes, nuts and whole grains are beneficial to meeting fiber goals, supporting gut health and helping to prevent lifestyle diseases," she said.The study looked at nearly 4,800 people in Spain who were overweight or obese and at risk of diabetes.Half of the group followed a Mediterranean diet while also incorporating additional lifestyle changes, including cutting about 600 calories a day, adding moderate exercise (like brisk walking or light strength training), and receiving professional weight-loss support.The other half followed a Mediterranean diet without calorie restriction, exercise guidance or extra support.After six years, the first group had a 31% lower risk of developing diabetes. On average, they also lost 3.3 kilograms (about 7 pounds) and trimmed 3.6 centimeters (about 1.4 inches) from their waistlines.The control group lost significantly less, only 0.6 kilograms (1.3 pounds), and had almost no change in waist size."The best lifestyle strategy to reduce the risk of diabetes is to lose weight by adhering to a healthy, energy-reduced diet and increasing physical activity," co-author Jordi Salas-Salvad, M.D., PhD, professor at the University of Rovira i Virgili in Spain, told Fox News Digital.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERWhile the Mediterranean diet isnt the only eating plan that could help prevent diabetes, it offers a "highly sustainable, long-term weight-loss option," he added.Salas-Salvad noted that no previous trial has assessed the effect of reducing calories in the context of a healthy, relatively high-fat diet.Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and Fox News senior medical analyst, was not involved in the study but has previously spoken about the effects of the Mediterranean diet."The alternative saturated fats, salts and sugars are not heart-healthy and increase the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer, all of which increase mortality risks," he told Fox News Digital.The studys approach of monitoring diet, physical activity and weight loss makes it difficult to gauge which factor had the most impact, according to Salas-Salvad.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthHe also pointed out that because the participants were older adults in Spain, further studies are needed to assess outcomes in other populations, like younger people and non-Mediterranean populations.

A woman whose sister, nieces and nephews were gunned down and burned alive by the Juarez cartel is now speaking out in support of President Donald Trumps crackdown on cartel violence, saying she is "very hopeful for the first time in a long time."Speaking with Fox News Digital, Adriana Jones, president of American Families Against Cartel Terrorism, shared the story of how her sister, Maria "Rhonita" LeBaron, and nieces and nephews, Howie, 12, Krystal, 10, and 8-month-old twins Titus and Tiana, were killed by Mexican cartel members in November 2019. Jones said the family had been driving to Phoenix and was just 70 miles south of Mexicos border with Arizona."Gunmen opened fire on their vehicle, killing everybody in it, and then lit it on fire when they were gunned down. So, they were burned, most likely still alive," she explained. "There were two other vehicles that had been driving along that same route, family members, that two other mothers were murdered along with two more children, and there were seven surviving children, all gunned down, all American citizens, all right there along the border."LIVING LABORATORY: TRUMP ADMIN URGED TO LOOK TO SOUTH AMERICA FOR LESSONS ON FIGHTING MIGRANT GANGSSince then, Jones said her family has been "fighting for justice in every way we can."Through her advocacy, she said she has found that her familys tragedy is "not a one-off" and that "all along the border you see this kind of stuff happening every single day," whether it involves cartel violence, human trafficking or deadly fentanyl trafficking."No American family should ever have to suffer the way that my family has suffered," she said. "I held their bodies. I watched what the cartels did to them. I know how evil they are.""American families are dying every single day because of cartel violence," she added. "America really needs to know what's happening."Until recently, however, Jones said that it felt like fighting "a brick wall.""There was almost zero movement," she said. "No matter how much we pushed, no matter how much we traveled, no matter how many doors we knocked on, and finally, in these last few months, you've just seen a lot of movement on this issue. People are finally waking up, truly understanding."After the Trump Department of Justice announced that Sinaloa Cartel boss and former Juarez boss Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada pleaded guilty Monday to leading a criminal enterprise and racketeering, Jones said she finally felt a glimmer of hope in her fight for American families at the border.Jones thanked Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and the "entire Trump administration" for holding the cartels accountable."I wasn't expecting actually to be as emotional as I was and to be impacted when I watched it live. And I'm going to be honest with you, I felt very, very hopeful for the first time in a long time," she explained.DOJ CHARGES FIVE ALLEGED MEXICAN CARTEL LEADERS, TOUTS EXTRAORDINARY POLICEWORK THAT LED TO INDICTMENTS"Listening to that press conference and just seeing the work that has been done under this administration, I'm honestly so hopeful," she went on. "I truly believe that cartels can and should be eradicated."Tearing up, Jones noted, "It was a very, very emotional day for me."Though the Trump administration has taken heavy criticism for its crackdown on illegal immigration, Jones said, "I feel like the current administration is the first time we've seen any real movement on this issue.""Understanding just how big it is and how many American lives are affected every day, I'm truly hopeful for the first time in a long time that we can actually make a difference and we can actually get those numbers to start trending down and just save American families."Despite this, Jones said there is still much that needs to be done to put an end to cartel violence against American families. She noted that though the Trump administration has designated eight cartels and criminal groups as "foreign terrorist organizations," the cartel that killed her family, the Juarez Cartel, and its subgroup known as "La Linea," have not yet been labeled terrorist groups.TRUMP APPROVES MILITARY ACTION AGAINST LATIN AMERICAN CARTELS CLASSIFIED AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS"It is disheartening," she admitted. "We actually have a judgment in U.S. courts against these cartels that were naming them terrorists in that judgment. So, it seemed like a very easy step to just include them on that list.""They shot my 12-year-old nephew point-blank, they burned eight-month-old twins. These are terrorists, and they definitely need to be on that list," she said, adding, "I'm going to keep on knocking on doors until I get those answers."Jones urged other American families who have been victims of cartel violence to join in her efforts."Each victim has their own story. Every family has their own heartache. And so, to use that heartache to actually make a difference to help is what we're looking to do," she explained. "The world needs to hear your stories. America needs your stories."

An upcoming iPhone update is raising alarms among Republican fundraisers who say a new text filtration system set to hit the market in September will disproportionately block conservative fundraising and voter outreach efforts, echoing past Big Tech controversies that put a target on the backs of GOP voters."Its no surprise that Big Tech wants to stop Donald Trump and other Republicans from communicating with people, because theyve tried every other method to interfere already," Sean Dollman, founding partner of American Made Media Company, the parent company of Launchpad Strategies, which was the exclusive digital firm for Trump 2024, told Fox News Digital."Big Tech has suppressed him, suspended him, and banned him outright. And now theyre trying to make it so he cant text anybody either. But MAGA wont be stopped, and MAGA will always find a way."Apple is expected to roll out its latest update, iOS 26, in September, which will include an updated text filtration system that siphons text messages from unknown numbers that have no chat history with the recipient to a separate message folder that will not generate an alert to the recipient, leaders from American Made Media Company and Launchpad explained to Fox News Digital of the upcoming update. Text messages from known numbers saved on an individual's phone are expected to continue alerting recipients and sending the messages to their typical text app.GOOGLE'S GMAIL CENSORSHIP COST GOP CANDIDATES $2B SINCE 2019, REPUBLICANS SAY, CITING NEW STUDYLaunchpad Strategies served as the Trump 2024 campaign's exclusive digital firm handling online advertising and consulting during Trump's decisive victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris, and continues operating as a "full-service Republican digital agency dedicated to helping campaigns win," according to its website.Launchpad raised $509 million for the Trump campaign in 2024 and an additional $18 million in funds from 40 other clients during the massive 2024 election year, Fox Digital learned.JASON CHAFFETZ: TEN SNEAKY WAYS THE DEEP STATE STEALS YOUR DATA AND HOW TRUMP CAN HELP YOU STOP ITThe update could affect election cycles themselves, as text messages concerning voter registration and campaign rallies are expected to also be punted to this new folder, according to fundraisers.Data from the 2024 election cycle showed Republicans leveraged text campaigns two-to-one compared to Democrats, putting them directly in the line of fire when the expected update takes effect in September ahead of the midterms hitting a fever pitch as Democrats look to flip the House and Senate from Republican control.The text filtration's scope is expected to extend far beyond just politics, including potentially siphoning texts concerning real-life issues such as doctor appointments from a number not saved in a person's phone.The National Republican Senate Committee, which serves as the Senate Republican's campaigning arm, circulated an internal memo in July sounding the alarm that the iOS update could cost Republicans more than $25 million in revenue, Punchbowl News reported at the time.Apple filtering texts from unknown numbers is not new, with such a program already used within the current iOS 18 systems. The current filtration system is by default not activated until a user toggles a button within the "settings" app.The iOS 26 update is also currently available to the public for beta testing, the outlet Fast Company reported in July.Under the new update, the filtration system will be renamed to "Screen Unknown Senders," but will use ongoing criteria to kick text messages to another folder, specifically: if the iPhone owner does not have a contact saved in their phone and if the user has never interacted with the unknown phone number trying to contact them, according to Fast Company.The visibility of the texts from unknown senders will get a facelift under the new update, with the filtered messages from unknown senders made more easily seen by users with a new filtration button at the top of Apple's Messages app that will display a blue badge noting how many unread texts an iPhone user has received from unknown numbers, according to the Fast Company report, which sought to quell Republican fundraising concerns over the update.Fox News Digital reached out to Apple for comment on Monday.History repeating itself is of top concern to Republican fundraisers, who pointed to a seemingly similar filtration system with Gmail messages that first hit the public's radar in 2022. Studies at the time found Gmail allowed the vast majority of emails from left-wing politicians to land in a users inbox, while more than two-thirds of messages from conservative candidates were marked as spam, according to data from North Carolina State Universitys Department of Computer Science that was previously reported by Fox News Digital.The Gmail filtration system resulted in a $2 billion loss for Republican candidates between 2019 and 2022, Fox News Digital reported in April 2022 citing research from the Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee, National Republican Senate Committee."Big Tech has been silencing conservative voices and actively working against Republicans for multiple cycles. Googles e-mail suppression which affects the GOPs fundraising and GOTV efforts is another egregious example. Silicon Valley oligarchs are suppressing free political speech," then-RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, then-NRSC Chairman Senator Rick Scott and then-NRCC Chairman Congressman Tom Emmer said in a joint statement back in 2022, Fox News Digital reported at the time.GOOGLE'S GMAIL FAVORS LEFT-WING CANDIDATES, SENDS FAR MORE EMAILS FROM CONSERVATIVES TO SPAM: STUDYThe research found that between 2019 and 2020, conservative candidates raised $737 million on Republican fundraising platform WinRed from Gmail. The data found that just 32% of fundraising emails actually reached recipients, with Republicans estimating they missed out on $1.5 billion in contributions during the 2020 election cycle alone.The update comes as the Democrat Party is in turmoil following the 2024 race, which saw former President Biden drop out of the election cycle with just over 100 days to go before passing the proverbial mantle to Vice President Kamala Harris before the loss to Trump. The party has since attempted to find its political footing after an exodus of the working-class vote to the GOP in 2024 and voters rejecting left-wing policies, most notably surrounding social issues.Republican fundraisers are already working on workarounds for the expected update, including having recipients add fundraising numbers to their phones.Screenshots of fundraising text messages reviewed by Fox News Digital in 2025 show texts touting Trump's name, accompanied by messages that ask recipients to add the number to their contacts or respond to the text to build a chat history.The texts include messages such as, "From Trump: Did you save my number yet?" or "Download the Trump Contact Card to add me to your address book" or other interactive texts such as, "Trump: If you had 5 minutes with me, what would you say? No links. I just want your reply below."

As European cities continue to struggle with surging tourist numbers, Italian farmers have taken matters into their own hands.Locals have installed their own turnstiles across the Dolomites as influencers continue to flock to the mountain range in northeastern Italy.Carlo Zanella, president of the Alto Adige Alpine Club, told Fox News Digital that the turnstiles are "working."COASTAL CITY GREENLIGHTS NEW VISITOR TAX AMID WIDESPREAD OVERTOURISM TREND"The turnstiles were installed at the beginning of July by a farmer who owns the land where the path passes," said Zenella.Located in Val Gardena on the Seceda, the turnstiles charge visitors about $5 for access.Zanella shared the "big problem" that farmers are facing.He said it's about visitors "who go to the meadows to pass or have a picnic and ruin the grass that the farmer has to cut to make hay."The Dolomiti Superski area, spanning over 12 valleys, had 4 million winter visitors in the 2024 season, according to The Times.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"I am against the influencers," said Zanella, "because they almost always tell things that are not in events [related] to the locality and show the mountain differently from what it is.
