Bout time. Factory farms are bad news for everyone except people who own factory farms
-
The agriculture industry in SW Wisconsin should be what we strive for. Small, independent farms.

The caveat is that consumers will INITIALLY have to pay slightly more for a model that doesn’t destroy the planet.

people have to learn to localize the cost of externalities to have a chance

I remember when this happened in CA in 2008 after that Animal Prop passed. Eggs went to $5/dozen. Get ready for much higher prices if this Prop passes.

I pay at most 2.49 a dozen...in SoCal

At Aldi's a dozen eggs is always below $1... shop around

Did you notice I said "at most"?

Man does not live by broccoli alone.

Which has zero to do with cruelty to animals.

Hey, broccoli roams free!

But they run too fast to catch.

While not a bad idea, I foresee a US Constitutional question that will have to be decided by the
#USSC ...#Agriculture#StatesRights#InterstateCommerce#AnimalRights -
What would be the constitutional question?
-
Simply, whether one state can usurp another state’s laws and compel compliance via interstate commerce. Agriculture heavily regulated by the Federal government. Can one state subjugate growers/producers in another state (with different laws) to abide by “cage free” requirement?
-
It’s already happened with cars and other products.
-
I believe those rules have withstood scrutiny because cars and other durable goods are consistent across state borders. Farming practices vary by region and/or cultural practices. Hypothetically, how could CA law compel Mennonite farmers to alter historical, cultural practices?
-
They're not compelling them to do anything. They're just not giving them business if they're cruel to animals. I think it's far enough removed that there isn't any real argument to be heard here. Who knows what our corrupt and politicized SCOTUS will do of course.
-
Again, I didn’t say the proposal was bad; it may just face scrutiny —particularly from corporate farming. Also, Mennonite example was used BECAUSE it was an extreme illustration of potential reach of CA’s “activist” lawmaking. CA has long been a bellwether for new regulation.
-
It won’t be strict scrutiny just rational basis review it’s not exactly a compelling constitutional issue IMO. But we shall see ... I do believe farmers are more preoccupied with dealing with tariffs
