CA - 2022 No more pork (literally)

At the beginning of next year, California will begin enforcing an animal welfare proposition approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 that requires more space for breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves. National veal and egg producers are optimistic they can meet the new standards, but only 4% of hog operations now comply with the new rules. Unless the courts intervene or the state temporarily allows non-compliant meat to be sold in the state, California will lose almost all of its pork supply, much of which comes from Iowa, and pork producers will face higher costs to regain a key market.

Oral arguments took place in a California court this week over a new regulation that will make it mandatory starting next year for pork sold in the state to come from breeding pigs that have at least 24 square feet of living space.

Looks like there's a market opening up for all the feral hogs that have been breeding through the lower states.

Why does stupid get leadership roles so often?

From emissions to food production, why does one state get to rewrite the entire industry standards?

Only if you decide to sell/ship to pork to California. That's the way I read it. Since only 4% of the industry is in compliance with CA law I guess they simply sell to other markets or build a better pig pen. I suspect they will sell more to other markets. Which may bring prices down in those locations.

Time to see what Gavin Newsome's relations are up to. I'd bet one of them is faking bacon from butter beans, brussels sprouts and petroleum byproducts.

Wonder how much Beyond Meat contributed to Newsome?/DEMS?

Everyone’s favorite breakfast meat might soon not be meat at all. As America fawns over imitation burgers, California-based company Beyond Meat has its sights set on delivering a crispier meat alternative: bacon.

According to recent reports, Beyond is currently developing a plant-based bacon recipe. Although it is unknown when the fake bacon will be available, plenty of questions already surround its existence. For example, will consumers even be interested?

Even so, with imitation meat stealing lots of headlines right now, there may be a market for Beyond’s newest addition. All consumers can hope for is that it’s better than turkey bacon.

Newsome doesn't want you eating his relatives.

In order to determine whether a food company gave to Democrats or Republicans more in the 2020 political cycle I turned to Opensecrets.org. Contributions from each company to all federal candidates during 2020 were recorded as well as the split in money going to Democrats versus Republicans. Company/brand contributions are considered those coming from the company directly, a company PAC or from individual company owners for the smaller brands.
There is wide variation in the amounts given. The biggest contributors in the hot dog and condiment world were: 365 Everyday ketchup (Amazon) with a total of $12,759,813, Ball Park and Hillshire Farms (Tyson) hot dogs with a total of $514,505, and Annie’s Organic (General Mills) totaling at $457,196. Many of the smaller brands had no federal political giving reported in 2020. In the graphs below I present the share of federal contributions going to Democrats or Republicans for all companies that gave any federal political campaign monies.

Beyond Meat, gave 100% of his donations to Democrats. But his entire federal contributions only included $1000 to Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) — a notable vegan — who ran in the Democratic primary for president.

Haven't gotten up to middle IL yet, at least not in any significant numbers to signal their arrival. I'm just saying, as Jeff Goldblum's character in Jurrasic Park says. "Life, uh..finds, a way."

Bacon is for winners. States with balanced budgets.
