The conversation focuses on California's Proposition 12, which mandates better living conditions for farm animals, and the industry's attempts to counter it through the Save Our Bacon Act. Anna shares insights into sustainable farming practices and why many small farmers like her would be put at a disadvantage by overturning the law, while Kara highlights the broader implications for animal welfare, public health, and the environment.
