Reading from the linked website, it looks like the PRIME act is a way to avoid federal regulation in favor of potentially looser state regulation. Now I have no dog in this fight, but why couldn't we say, push for the house ag committee to get some people from the FDA to explain why these slaughterhouse regs are so onerous? Is passing a bill the best way to get something done?

I would say that anybody who is interested in the system should listen to this. All of the people in this panel, called by both Republicans and Democrats, call out the need for serious reforms of the FDA inspection system. And how the FDA system specifically allows large meat corporations to cut the little guy out of cutting meat. If you think that the current system limits 'bad meat' from entering the system. You need to understand that the FDA is fully captured by the corporations that it's supposed to be governing.
