Bacon may disappear in California as pig rules take effect

Regardless of how delicious bacon is, pig farms are resource and land inefficient and the waste produced by them has a sizable environmental impact. Besides, improving the conditions for living creatures is the humane and ethical thing to do. Bacon won't disappear, but the price might go up. It's not exactly the healthiest, so eating less of it isn't such a bad thing.

If this sort of thing upsets you then you have ****ed up priorities.

By the things I've seen people get upset about on this forum, it seems many have ****ed up priorities in my opinion.
But always remember....

So long as there are still politicians in Sacramento there will still be pork in California.

I wouldn't.
Some will. From the link..

"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.”

Love eating bacon. Completely unable to justify standing in the way of improved animal conditions, though.

I doubt this will make enough trouble to disrupt big producers, but if it does and if this rule permanently drives prices that could be good for smaller farmers. Raise the price of eggs and bacon, and these start to become profitable for small farmers. I should note I'm not familiar with California prices which may already be high, but where I live they are quite low on eggs and on bacon. You'd have to raise a whole lot of chickens or pigs to compete.

Maybe I don't know how to properly eat bacon? It seems to me like more of a garnish than a food. I never buy bacon, though I do occasionally have it.
