Hold the Bacon: In January Pork Will Be a Food of the Elite in California

[Weatherman2020]

Poor California. Gee… that is too bad. Enjoy your tofu, Californians.

California will require spacious accommodations for pigs come January if shipped there. Only 4% comply to the requirements in pork producing areas.

The good news is the rest of us will be enjoying cheap carne asadas and pulled pork sandwiches.

Reality can bite for voters ruled by emotion rather than informed decision-making. But this time, it could take away something to bite into.

Cheap food is not worth the price of abusing animals. This should be done everywhere. I am happy to pay a little more so that the animal is not treated the way many are treated.

Abuse? Why does California wait two years instead of arresting the animal abusers?

No idea what you are rambling about. Whatever else they may have done has no bearing on my thoughts here on treating animals.

How much do you guys pay for peameal bacon in the U.S?

Prices of all meat have gone up, from time to time, I can get peameal bacon for about $4/lb or so Canadian. The only time I buy it is when it's on sale for half that price as I try to avoid red meat. It's uncut, comes in a small block, plastic wrapped.

Knowing our system, I wouldn't even be surprised if you pay less even though it's imported.

""Bringing home the Bacon"" has now been elevated to a new, more intrinsically social meaning.

Not hard to make the stuff actually.... just takes some refrigerator space and patience..... I suspect more people will be doing that now.

Cities that have half the people living in permanent poverty will love the extra taxes on other show move out of the insanity for your beliefs. This is like death by a thousand cuts for all of every ones agendas. And the suckers who are boring and family oriented are the biggest suckers in human history. Separate the nation into a loose federation of states. Out of mercy.

Oh, I always thought it was a particular cut of pork, not just the way it is treated.

Maybe I'm wrong. I've never been a big fan of it, I prefer traditional bacon, when I have it at all (which is very rare now, but was far more common when I was a kid).

Does it matter to you if your pork chops were treated humanely before they ended up next to the mashed potatoes?

Unless you are an avowed Vegetarian or a Vegan I can see no upside to this insane legislative overreach but then again we are talking about California right? I am not advocating for purposeful torture of livestock but the idea that they must be made happy and comfortable to some prescribed...

It is common, nay, very available, where markets are more free to operate than in the Trudeau absurdity.

If God didn't want people to eat pork, then why did he make BLT sandwiches taste so good?

Only in a very prosperous place and time can such silly considerations gain ground.
