Thanks to a reworked menu and long hours, Jeannie Kim managed to keep her San Francisco restaurant alive during the coronavirus pandemic.
That makes it all the more frustrating that she fears her breakfast-focused diner could be ruined within months by new rules that could make one of her top menu items — bacon — hard to get in California.
“Our number one seller is bacon, eggs and hash browns,” said Kim, who for 15 years has run SAMS American Eatery on the city’s busy Market Street. “It could be devastating for us.”
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.
Isn’t that an act of war?
When I heard about pig rules I just assumed they were talking about Pelosi
I like the idea of a California bacon ban. Just in time for the recall election.
well- according to the article Kalifornians overwhelmingly voted in favor of this...more space for pigs but the unborn?? murder on demand!!
Iirc China owns the major American based pork processors
not really...if you read the article the people of Kalifornia voted for this: “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”
CA. Why would any normal person want to live there?
California enacts an onerous and expensive law that makes things rarer and more expensive and producers everywhere are forced to comply if they want to do business in California (hint: they all do). So that law from that one state will ruin bacon for all of us. Look for shortages coming soon. Thanks democrats.
Should be a great place for all the Muslims to move to . . .
I am really starting to actually hate PETA and Vegans. They have no clue that they are stepping way over the line with their concept.
They are going beyond the welfare of “pets” like Cats and Dogs. They take the Beef, Pork and Chicken away from meat eaters and the first thing to start disappearing will be their Cats and Dogs because there is no “livestock” left.
They have come to the point where they are going to damage their own cause by stepping over that line. Enough is enough. Hands off... Stick with “Pets” and leave “livestock” alone. They are NOT at all the same thing.
As I gather reading these threads (and I happened across a really nice 2013 meetup thread where people who have subsequently literally lost their minds were acting normally and exchanging pics and pleasantries), the oldsters like JimRob rightfully believe California is their state that was taken away from them.
The younger crowd, California is where they have been sold a bill of goods that the jobs/activities are exclusive to Kali so 'shut up and eat your Leftist mush'.
Just my take.
I’d love to live there, I grew up there (Monterey-area), it’s one of the most beautiful places on the planet. But the government has ruined it.
More bacon for the rest of us. ..
He’s starting to look like an old lesbian.
Let California do what they want. More Bacon for us.
Just more classic liberal insanity on full public display.
Hey, the morons voted for it....let em eat gay cake.
More bacon for the rest of us.
Agreed. Interstate commerce is under federal power. One of the reasons we have a federal government.
LOL!
Since CA requires more space for the animals, livestock producers will have the choices: lower the number of animals and raising their prices, buying more land to make their farms bigger and raising their prices, raising some other crop, selling to large conglomerates, selling the farm and going out of business. Expect a range of those choices to be made, especially the part about raising prices.
