U.S. Congresswoman Ashley Hinson says she’s backing a bill that would prevent states from regulating interstate trade and agricultural practices.

“American’s need access to cheap and affordable protein,” she said. “The way to make it more expensive during a time of high inflation is to put more regulation on it.”

The Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act was introduced in the House last month in response to California’s Proposition 12, a law that bans sales of pork, veal, and eggs from animals whose confinement does not meet minimum space requirements.
