Pork Industry trying to stop California's progressive food production
We should all boycott Iowan Pork. California is entitled to pass it's own higher standard for it's food production. It is a constitutional right. Hopefully, our higher standards will creep into the rest of the country. Until then let California and the other STates that have similar standards continue to make food healthy.
Why is this important?
Yes. California just voted to address humane farming regarding Chickens, veal, and to stop poisons in sprays, etc. The Pork Industry is afraid that these measures might creep into the Pork States like Iowa. They went to have Federal standards of food production and want to deny States from enacting their own standards. They snuck an amendment into the Agricultural bill at midnight denying States the right to pass their own food productions laws. This will undo our pesticide laws, humane laws, milk standards, egg productions,, etc.
