This will be a nightmare for the pork industry since the vast majority of pork farmers' practices do not conform to the California law. Either they won't be able to sell pork in California, or if they do comply with the law, pork prices should increase for the rest of the country. Stock up on bacon now!

Supreme Court rejects challenge to California pork law mandating more space for pigs
Too bad for pork producers. I have no sympathy for an industry that hires child/under age workers and didn't protect their employees during the pandemic. The heart associations says you shouldn't be eating pork anyway - not healthy for your heart!
