California grocers, restaurants seek delay on bacon law

A coalition of California restaurants and grocery stores has filed a lawsuit to block implementation of a new farm animal welfare law, adding to uncertainty about whether bacon and other fresh pork products will be much more expensive or in short supply in the state when the new rules take effect on New Year’s Day.

  1. I have an idea. Harvest the free-range wild boar of Texas and sell the meat in California. Texas has somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million wild hogs that are destroying its agriculture, and ranchers with night vision scopes cull as many as they can. I’ve never had wild hog meat, so I wouldn’t know if it even tastes good, but if it does, two problems solved!

    2. Technically not wild, feral. We can call it free range piggy.

    4. Feral boars are pretty good at busting people up, have no problem eating dead bodies, and learn quickly. Seems like they'd make very effective border patrol agents and they wouldn't cost a dime beyond a bit of initial training.

  2. An unfunded mandate. California should be made to pay for all modifications to farm facilities required to meet their regurgitations.

  3. Just stop selling affected products in CA. Simple enough.

    1. I agree.
      I have a feeling there are a lot of Leftist Dems in California that love bacon. Let them eat cake.

    2. Any product made out of state that requires special handling and makes it more expensive in kalifukinornia, let the mfg raise the price in that state or not sell it in that state. They don't want something, they don't get something. Biggest problem is that kali produces the majority of veggies and a hell of a lot of the fruits the rest of the country relies on. To say nothing about the majority of bananas come right off the docs in so kali. It's the closets shipping point in the US to the growing countries. From there throughout the rest of the country by truck & rail.

    3. California has special requirements on gasoline (MTB additive if I remember right). When they passed the law, California figured they were a big enough market that everywhere would be forced to be their idiotic requirements. Turns out refineries decided not to and California had higher gas prices than the rest of the nation.

      Hopefully California will be summarily punished for their pork stupidity.

  4. Stop selling to california , after the state of cal. decided to make up their own rules for emissions among other edicts the companies affected should have said "OK no more shiny new cars for you assholes . how long would their rules have stood up then? Time to quit codling these losers ,and treat them like the spoiled brats that they are, if its not good enough for you ,then do without

  5. +Does it ever occur to people we need to be LESS law-abiding?
    Especially when there are too many laws restricting PERSONAL freedom.
    Ignore alien orders.

    1. As always, no one wants to be the first guy over the parapet.

    2. A lot can be done covertly and under the parapet, my friend.
      Use your imagination.
      We're not starting a war; they already did that.
      What I'm talking is clandestine resistance.

  6. Wild pig is much appreciated in France.
    For its meat, I mean.
    It gets a premium price.
