Jeannie Kim holds her popular bacon and eggs breakfast at her restaurant in San Francisco on Friday, July 30, 2021. Thanks to a reworked menu and long hours, Jeannie Kim managed to keep her San Francisco restaurant alive during the coronavirus pandemic. That makes it all the more frustrating that she fears her breakfast-focused diner could be ruined within months by new rules that could make one of her top menu items — bacon — hard to get in California.
Animal welfare organizations for years have been pushing for more humane treatment of farm animals but the California rules could be a rare case of consumers clearly paying a price for their beliefs. The National Pork Producers Council has asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture for federal aid to help pay for retrofitting hog facilities around the nation to fill the gap. Hog farmers said they haven't complied because of the cost and because California hasn't yet issued formal regulations on how the new standards will be administered and enforced.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture said that although the detailed regulations aren't finished, the key rules about space have been known for years. “Why are pork producers constantly trying to overturn laws relating to cruelty to animals?” Balk asked. “It says something about the pork industry when it seems its business operandi is to lose at the ballot when they try to defend the practices and then when animal cruelty laws are passed, to try to overturn them.”
REMOVE PORK from GQP AND DEMCRAT POLICIES..
LTs suck.
So glad we live in Florida where country ribs are a staple of our diet!😅😂🤣
who cares what they do in california
Boooo! Overreach.
I’m not buying it. The law was passed in 2018 to take effect in 2022. There was more than adequate time to comply with the law. This is just an en run to make an appeal to consumers to avoid providing basic humane treatment.
'Pig Rules' is my new favorite phrase
As same as Thailand 🇹🇭
The law requires farmers to have more space for their animals 🤦🏼♀️ some of y’all are just dumb
I’ll side with the pigs on this one.

No lo creo es el fuerte d EU.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been caught without a mask numerous times in the U.S. Capitol after the return of a mask mandate and threatening anyone who opposes — even those who are vaccinated — with being arrested.
So you’re saying I should start my pig farm now? And establish a monopoly in the underground market so I can be financially set by this date?
Click bait
Annnnnnnd nobody read the article 😂😂😂
If you can’t run your business ethically, you don’t need to be in business.
That’s probably a good thing…
Does this apply to cops too?
Are ABC trying to compete with Fox and OANN now?
OverflowingAuthority The modern church is resting in the false peace of the devil even though there is no peace that God has given. God is not with a church that loves money, fornication, lies, abortion, homosexuality, and sin. He must repent and turn from all sins.
Leave it to the activists to constantly try and ruin the lives of the working class. For years they have raged war on the nation's farmers and this is the latest step in destruction of the ag industry.
Yes, all that slightly more humane treatment of farm animals is such a selfish thing.
Pigs suffer a lot of terror becoming your bacon.
And the robbery of food starts! I’m glad it’s there!
ComunistCali WTF CA
Leave it to California to eff it up for everyone else. They should be the only a-holes that pay more.
Good.
You can always eat sausage. It’s pork. California ~ where people are slowly losing their right to a free life.
ОЙ СПАСИБО
How dare we ask for an animal to be treated more humanely before their life is up?!
Catering to Muslims
Just look in Washington DC!!!
How the hell they're worried about how much space an animal that's grown to be killed has in its short life,I've said before most citizens in California are dumb as dirt
Really, pork will be harder to find because treating pigs more humanly but really more healthier would hurt the industry is a worth it.
Make that August 1 I’ve lost all perception of time so please excuse me!
Yeah they’ll be wiped off the shelves now in every store imaginable before noon Sunday July 1 !!! The sequel to the toilet paper hogs of America **
I’m from Texas. Pretty sure I’ll still be able to get it.
good ol arteries are happy
huh, why? could it be because a majority of california voters actively, affirmatively voted for it?
😂😂😂😂😂unbelievable. Quo vadis left-wing America!
That’s a lot of crying….it works fine in countries like Denmark and they produce a lot.
As much as I love bacon, I don’t need all that fat to clog up my arteries, and I don’t eat any other pork. I’m good
To these companies have had 3 years to prepare for these changes and haven't done anything yet? And now expect us to subsidize their companies because they won't be able to sell it to us? I say let them fail. 🤷🏻
Good on California. If ordinary people saw how pigs are raised they would be shocked.
Damn this state really is going down the toilet
Hahaha, next stop chicken shit as a nutritious meal 😜
Good.
Typical California. Poor people like me buy pork because beef costs more. So they have to fix that!
Bacon 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓yummy
Wouldn't bother me none anyway. I don't eat pork. Ew.
This is a step in the right direction. Even non-vegetarians should support this. If you don’t support it, well… wow.
