Yeah, I’m really puzzled by this. Nothing legally prevents them from having some farms that raise “CA approved” pigs and others that raise “rest of the country” pigs. Nothing except that being less efficient (profitable) than just doing it the maximally compliant way everywhere. And it’s less efficient because the cost difference at the farm is small compared to the logistics.
Overturning this would basically be an end to the ability of the states to make any sort of commerce regulations at all. Which I get that a lot of republicans would like to see because “regulation bad”, but it’s not at all the way the US is set up.
