And How About Federal Standards (Chickens)?
Understanding Government has a post on California chicken. As they say, the animal rights people imposed tougher standards on CA chicken growers 2 years ago, over poultry opposition. This year, animal rights and poultry people imposed the same tougher standards on eggs imported into CA. One can see this in many ways. I'd add to UG's discussion the idea that liberals usually tend to support one nationwide standard for things, except when they don't, as here. Again I go back to the idea of our weak government, due in part to federalism. Political principle is easily discarded when the government structure makes it easy for you to win.
