Thanks to a reworked menu and long hours, Jeannie Kim managed to keep her San Francisco restaurant alive during the coronavirus pandemic.
That makes it all the more frustrating that she fears her breakfast-focused diner could be ruined within months by new rules that could make one of her top menu items — bacon — hard to get in California.
“Our number one seller is bacon, eggs and hash browns,” said Kim, who for 15 years has run SAMS American Eatery on the city’s busy Market Street. “It could be devastating for us.”
At the beginning of next year, California will begin enforcing an animal welfare proposition approved overwhelmingly by voters in 2018 that requires more space for breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves. National veal and egg producers are optimistic they can meet the new standards, but only 4% of hog operations now comply with the new rules. Unless the courts intervene or the state temporarily allows non-compliant meat to be sold in the state, California will lose almost all of its pork supply, much of which comes from Iowa, and pork producers will face higher costs to regain a key market.
They own the eastern NC companies.
It is Smithfield.
good deal, best type of win/win
You mean California can’t even get makin’ bacon right? I thought screwing up a 30car funeral was the bottom step on the stupid ladder; leave it to California to put in a new one!
Little Dumplings are mourning.
That proves it! It’s a Jewish plot! Tee-hee.
While they sit in the dark with no electricity.
Smokey and the Bacon
Thanks - that sounds very plausible.
The CCP doesn’t own all the pork farms. (Ps that odor is the smell of money)
