If the Federal government enacted the law nationwide they would have to comply, but they don’t have to comply here, they can just stop selling pork in California.
Imagine for a second that pork was never even legal in California, that early settlers were all vegetarians and adopted laws as such. Would the pork industry demand they legalize pork simply because it’s a lost profit opportunity? “Driving up costs” is just another way of saying “cutting into our profit margin.”
