What will most likely happen is that the prices of pork will go up in Cali to accommodate for their laws and stay the same everywhere else.

Regulation simply equals increased prices which is essentially a tax on the middle class and poor.

Whatever was regulated will become a luxury. The rich will have it but the middle class and poor will not.

See car prices, gas prices, food prices, liquor licenses, etc. Anything the government gets it's hand on to regulate increases prices.

The rich don't notice the increased cost of regulation but the middle class and poor suffer.
