A Walk Through the Mind: IntraState Meat Processing

IntraState Meat Processing

Oct 18, 2022

Californian regulations, effecting other States, have made the news again; previously for their emission standards and forcing electric vehicles, and this time for how pork is to be processed in order to be sold in Californian stores. How can California have such a profound impact on other States with a moderate request on how their food is raised? What regulations are already in place that effect what foods are even in the super markets we frequent? Are there ways around certain regulations to be able to feed ourselves and our families?
