@ post 4 - That is what I am thinking. If CA wants to vote itself no bacon, I have no problem with that. I feel for the folks who did not vote for it though.
Who is the unnamed guy?
Jamie Lee Curtis?
Dang, I think you’re onto something there.
You might add that they destroyed all their reservoirs and dams to protect some animal placing the state in a perpetual drought, shut off water to their most productive farms in the San Joaquin valley
Bacon may dwindle but fat remains rampant in the heads of the dems.
The black market in bacon will flourish.
Here is an article describing the ruling limiting California’s enforcement of the ban. Had to be from out of state and could not be resold. May still restrict restaurants selling. https://la.eater.com/2020/7/14/21324905/foie-gras-ban-california-lifted-not-illegal-ruling
That’s foie gras and even where it isn’t banned the Wokesters will demonstrate and blast the restaurant with bad reviews for even suggesting to serve it. It’s completely opposite here in Europe. You can get foie gras in any supermarket and if Wokesters came in and started demonstrating over it the locals would force a tube down their throat and force feed them until their livers exploded.

I agree, the Monterey area is (or was) fantastic. I spent a year at the DLI, 1982, with a window overlooking the harbor. Sometimes I think I can still hear the seals barking.
After the USAF, I spent 14 years in Sunnyvale, and visited Monterey frequently. The young crowd I hung out with thought nothing of driving to Monterey for Sunday lunch/dinner.
In recent years, even without Covid, I’m not sure I want to.
I read a lot of Civil War history. I have never been able to forgive Confederate general Joe Johnston for burning 1,000,000 pounds of bacon when he retreated from Manassas.
If that is as you stated, it is. It falls under that.
How do they justify California’s special environmental legislation? If they can dictate fuel efficiency standards, why can’t they do this? How can the courts let one go and not the other? It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
How are they going to keep restauranteurs from importing out of state bacon?
Good point.
Well, giving respect to animals we kill and eat is not a terrible thing. Flame suit on.

Bacon prices are absurd now. Minimum of $6/lb on sale.
Luckily the discount grocery here has various brands that are 2-3 weeks away from their expire date at 1/2 the going price.
I buy several pounds at a time and freeze them. Never can have too much bacon especially now that I’ve got tomatoes running out my ears.
Great. California bacon lovers will see the same laws are passed in Texas. I live in Oregon. We have seen Californians move here to avoid California laws and vote for the same ones here. We are true native Oregonians, but will have to move to the Midwest.
