An article here about a California law that has more effect on out of state farmers than those in California.

The thing that got my attention was that almost 100% of pork consumed in California is raised out of state.
Quote:
"In 2018, California voters enacted Proposition 12. Effective on Jan. 1, this law bans the sale of pork in California coming from pigs born to sows housed in individual pens with less than 24 square feet of usable space. Ostensibly, the law was designed
to ensure humane treatment of farm animals consumed in California. However, since 99.87% of pork that Californians consume comes from hogs born on farms outside the state, Proposition 12 applies virtually exclusively to out-of-state farms. California
even intends to enforce its law through sending state inspectors to certify out-of-state sow housing."
End quote.
