Breitbart -Bacon May Disappear in California as Pig Rules Take Effect

At the beginning of next year, California will begin enforcing an animal welfare proposition approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 that requires more space for breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves. National veal and egg producers are optimistic they can meet the new standards, but only 4% of hog operations now comply with the new rules. Unless the courts intervene or the state temporarily allows non-compliant meat to be sold in the state, California will lose almost all of its pork supply, much of which comes from Iowa, and pork producers will face higher costs to regain a key market.

    1. And to make matters worse? Those suburban girls are all racist! Why? How? Well … it seems as though ‘the black man’ rather enjoys bacon and all pork products. So, once again, white culture (or rather subculture) has pushed its white supremacy on the poor downtrodden black man, who just wants a mess of bbq ribs with a side of cracklins

  2. Socialists/commies :

    Don’t outright ban it …figure out an angle to make it difficult if not outright impossible to procure a product or a service.

    Second amendment … make ammo, not the gun, hard to get.

    Push vegan … make meat cost prohibitive.

    Get the vax … they’ll lock you down if you don’t comply.

    Th …Th …Th …That’s all folks !!

    ( Too true Robert )

  4. Why can’t people just do the obvious? They want to regulate diesels out of their market? Then remove diesels from their market. Their farmers and grocery stores can come to the border with horse carts, and load/unload and return to the grocery store/farm yard.

    Seriously, LET THE GROCERY SHELVES REMAIN EMPTY. That is all you have to do, and the problem takes care of itself. When they won’t stop voting for unreasonable things, why do y’all feel it is so necessary to work so hard to protect them from the consequences of their own bad decisions.

    California is deeply red, because all the blue states work so hard to make it that way.

    You keep rewarding bad behaviour, and are shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU! when you keep getting more of it.

    What you are doing is called “enabling”. Enabling has nothing to do with “helping”.

    The Iowa pork producers, should find new markets instead of hobbling themselves with debt to satisfy California.

    1. 1982-3? Attended a course given by CIA, called Methods of Control( ..of populations) . Pertained to Eastern Europe, Poland. Shortages were a method of tying up peoples spare time in lines, searching. Tired them out. Kept them down. Turned normal items into treats, as if for dogs.

      Shortages are a feature, not a bug. Shortages are the plan, not the error.

      Only capitalism, free markets overproduce such that to days luxury in the hands of the rich, become blah, near unprofitable commodities. For example, near supercomputer smartphone now $100 at evil Wal-Mart, cars, clothes….

    2. Not to worry Kevin because everything sold in the SF Bay Area is all *cough* *cough* … “locally sourced”. So the horse carts should be able to make it from the Salinas Valley … about a day before it all spoils.

      But when our High Speed trains show up in about 2072 … the state will mandate 10 cars for food transport … 1 for humans.

    1. Snopercod – the same way Canada does. If you want access to a rich market with 39.6M consumers you have to comply with its regulations to sell there. And currently California has 1.5 M more people than Canada.

    2. “Processors will need to design new systems to track California-compliant hogs and separate those premium cuts from standard pork that can serve the rest of the country.”
      At a minimum it adds an extra cost to run 2 lines of product. In this case there is also the added cost of just a portion of the carcass going to California (at a premium) and the rest being exported at no premium.

      So far Californians have managed to impose their silly regulations on everyone else because it wasn’t worth fighting the extra cost. This time they may succeed in a way they hadn’t imagined. Let the lefty vegetarians stay in California. Everyone else can move to Arizona, Florida and Texas. O, Sweet Saint of San Adreas, hear my prayer.

      2. Me and my friend, Nuzio will sell regular baccon, chops repackaged as “raised on family couch, and did math tricks pork”.

        Great profit spread.

      3. “At a minimum it adds an extra cost to run 2 lines of product.”

        My understanding is that’s part of the reason their gas prices are so high (besides taxes). Special “kumbaya” blend… just for California.

        1. Yes, that … and … the highest State Gas taxes in the nation. Almost NONE of which goes into repairing and maintaining our roads. My car’s suspension ages 1-year every time I drive from the Bay Area to Sacramento

  7. This could be a boon to California backyard pork production. Is the “Pickton Pork” brand available?

  8. If I had to kill an animal to eat it I’d be vegetarian! We don’t require as much meat as we consume anyway.
    Some countries eat dogs, like Korea….quite disturbing for the multitude of pet lovers. Who knows what they eat from the wet markets in China.

    1. If ever you’re invited to a vegan’s home for supper, tell them you only eat pate de fois gras, filet mignon and Russian sturgeon caviar.

  11. You know, if the rest of the USA let California continue on with this regulatory idiocy alone, they would benefit hugely from increased production and decreased costs.

    Let me tell you about lawn mowers, a niche market I learned a bit about. You want a big Jacobsen mower with an air conditioned cab and a 10′ wide cut, it will cost you $80,000 last I looked, ~2016. Might be $100k by now, I haven’t checked. Those machines used to be $40,000 and much more reliable. What made the cost DOUBLE like that?

    California. Yep, new diesel regulations in Cali require all the pollution controls and more that your Ford pickup truck does, all applied to a little dinky 4 cylinder Kubota that makes 40hp. Lots of other changes required by Cali regulations too.

    Result? The used lawn mower market is booming, because nobody can afford $80-$100k to cut the freakin’ grass. Not even golf courses. The only market left for that machine is government facilities and cities. I always wanted one of those machines, but not for that money. I’ll keep my old one going, thanks.

    Problem for Jacobsen was that Cali is as big a market for them as the rest of the USA. They’d have gone bankrupt. But they may go bankrupt anyway, trying to sell that over-priced machine to the rest of the country.

    1. Compliance costs have driven up the prices of cars, homes, electronics, batteries, etc, all in the name of “safety” and “the environment.”
      We are led by an electorate of cowards who think that they are “saving the planet”, even as they destroy civilization.

  12. According to VDH, laws aren’t enforced in the largely illegal immigrant demographic in the central valley. If there is a demand for bacon, the “free market” will provide it as long as there is cash or another untraceable medium of exchange. This is no different than the higher prices of “free market” hooch in Ontario where the regulated sector can’t compete on costs and quality premium. The coastal Elite fascists can drown in their tufu and the world will be a better place. The black market is the only free market.

  13. My new career: baconlegging. I predict a boom in bacon sales in Reno, Lake Havasu, Klamath Falls.

  14. There is a great opportunity in mail order bacon. 10 pound boxes Fedexed daily. Share with a couple neighbors.

  15. The reason crime is the only viable career choice for budding young businessmen.
    Soon everything will be illegal,so providing any real goods or services will amount to defying your government.
    Where as stealing will be further rewarded,by government,as it keeps the suburbanite terrified.
    At what point do the hog farmers cut their losses and seek saner markets?.
    and what about that fine “pork” coming in from south of the border?
    As Willie Pickton demonstrated,even the cops will eat the evidence.
    And we know the Cartels are running out of places to dump the bodies.

  16. How long before all meat is banned?

    Between animal rights, climate change and faux meat the end is in sight.
    10 – 15 years and it’s over.
