Many in animal agriculture are looking for a solution to California’s Proposition 12 and similar state laws, but one proposed fix for it, the Ending Agriculture Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, does not seem to be that solution.

In fact, Chelsea Good, the Livestock Marketing Association’s vice president of government and industry affairs, said the EATS Act was “dead on arrival.”

Good talked about Proposition 12, and possible ways to nullify it while speaking at the 2024 Animal Agriculture Alliance Stakeholders Summit on May 9 in Kansas City, Missouri.
