An ongoing war… ⚔️

🇺🇲📄 In a letter to House and Senate majority and minority leaders, Republican governors from 11 states have called on the US Congress to allow pork producers to bypass California’s Proposition 12. They would like to see the Exposing Agricultural Trade Suppression Act re-introduced this congressional session – such a bill would restrict state and local governments from imposing agricultural laws or standards on items produced in other states.

• The US Supreme Court upheld Prop 12 in May – refresh your memory about the details here.

⚠️ According to them, a single state shouldn't have the power to radically disrupt the pork production system as California is doing now – unknowingly, to the harm of even its own pork supply chain. Check out the full content of the letter here.
