Always has been.

> The [Save Our Bacon] Act would stop any state or locality from regulating the sale of meat based on how it’s produced in another state.

Interesting to think about this adjacent to the current availability of mifespristone by mail debate. They're not identical, but to what extent do the laws of one state impact the lives of those who reside in another?

Seems contrary to their supposed "states rights" philosophy.
Yeah, that's kinda where I am. States (for now) have the right to regulate what's for sale on their shelves.

This is a case where "the customer is always right" applies. CA and others have passed legislation for what kind of pork they will buy. IA is not compelled by those laws to fill those orders and doesn't have to rebuild out a new supply chain.

They may need to retool some of it if they want to capture these clear market demands, but again... nobody is compelling them.
