STEPHEN V. WILSON, United States District Judge.
This action for declaratory and injunctive relief touches upon a topic impacting gourmands' stomaches and animal-rights activists' hearts: foie gras. Plaintiffs Association des É leveurs de Canards et D'Oies du Qué bec (the " Canadian Farmers" ), HVFG LLC (" Hudson Valley" ), and Hot's Restaurant Group, Inc. (" Hot's" )[1] argue that California's sales ban on liver from force-fed birds, Cal. Health & Safety Code § 25982, runs afoul of federal law and the Constitution. Plaintiffs assert, inter alia, that the Poultry Products Inspection Act (" PPIA" ), 21 U.S.C. § § 451-470, preempts § 25982. This issue boils down to one question: whether a sales ban on products containing a constituent that was produced in a particular manner is an " ingredient requirement" under the PPIA.
Presently before this Court are Defendant's motion to dismiss, (Dkt. 116), and Plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment as to their preemption claim, (Dkt. 118). For the reasons discussed below, this Court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment and DENIES Defendant's motion to dismiss.
The Canadian Farmers and Hudson Valley produce foie gras--a delicacy made from fattened duck liver. (Second Amended Complaint (" SAC" ) ¶ ¶ 12-13.) Hot's operates a restaurant in California that formerly sold foie gras products. (SAC ¶ 14.) Plaintiffs' foie gras products are produced using gavage --a method of feeding a bird through a tube inserted in its esophagus. See (SAC ¶ ¶ 44, 80.)
California Health and Safety Code § 25982 was enacted as part of a statutory
Page 1139
scheme aimed at the practice of force feeding birds. Section 25981, which is not at issue in this case, prohibits force feeding a bird for the purpose of enlarging its liver. Cal. Health & Safety Code § 25981. Section 25982 reinforces this ban by prohibiting the sale in California of products that are " the result of force feeding a bird for the purpose of enlarging the bird's liver beyond normal size." [2] Cal. Health & Safety Code § 25982. Section 25980(b) defines " force feeding" as " a process that causes the bird to consume more food than a typical bird of the same species would consume voluntarily." Cal. Health & Safety Code § 25980. It states that " [f]orce feeding methods include, but are not limited to, delivering feed through a tube or other device inserted into the bird's esophagus." ( Id.)
Plaintiffs assert that § 25982 has caused them to lose millions of dollars worth of foie gras product sales in California. (SAC ¶ ¶ 86-88.) They further assert that the District Attorneys of Los Angeles, Santa Clara, and Monterey Counties threatened to prosecute Hudson Valley and at least two out-of-state distributors of Plaintiffs' foie gras products for violating § 25982 by selling foie gras products from outside California to California consumers. (SAC ¶ 89.)
Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit on July 2, 2012--the day after § 25982 became operative. (Dkt. 1.) On September 28, 2012, this Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction because Plaintiffs failed to show a likelihood of success on the merits of their vagueness or commerce clause challenges. (Dkt. 87: Order at 11-28.) The Court also rejected defendant Kamala Harris's (" Harris" ) contentions that the Eleventh Amendment barred Plaintiffs' suit and that the case was not ripe.
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit affirmed this Court's determination that Harris is not entitled to Eleventh Amendment immunity. Association des É leveurs de Canards et D'Oies du Qué bec v. Harris, 729 F.3d 937, 943 (9th Cir. 2013). The Ninth Circuit stated in dicta that instead of asserting Eleventh Amendment immunity, " a state official who contends that he or she will not enforce the law may challenge plaintiff's Article III standing based on an 'unripe controversy'" --an argument not then before that Court. Id. at 944. The Ninth Circuit also held that § 25982's scope was limited to liver products produced as a result of force feeding a bird for the purpose of enlarging its liver. Id. at 945-46. Finally, the Ninth Circuit affirmed this Court's holding that Plaintiffs failed to show a likelihood of success on the merits of their due process and commerce clause claims. Id. at 946-53.
On April 2, 2014, Plaintiffs filed their SAC. (Dkt. 112.) Plaintiffs' SAC asserts claims for: (1) declaratory relief regarding the application of § 25982 to imports of foie gras products where the commercial sale of such products takes place and title passes outside of the state of California; (2) declaratory relief that § 25982 is preempted by the PPIA; (3) declaratory relief that § 25982 violates the Commerce Clause because it is an extraterritorial regulation; and (4) declaratory relief that § 25982 violates the Commerce Clause because its substantial burden on interstate commerce exceeds its putative local benefits.[3] (Dkt. 112.)

Defendant argues that the Court should dismiss Plaintiffs' case under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) because Plaintiffs lack Article III standing, because the case is not ripe, and because it fails to present a " case of actual controversy" as required by the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201.[4]
1. Legal Standard Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1)
A motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) challenges the Court's subject matter jurisdiction to hear the claims alleged. Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(1). A Rule 12(b)(1) motion may be asserted either as a facial challenge to the complaint or a factual challenge. Safe Air for Everyone v. Meyer, 373 F.3d 1035, 1039 (9th Cir. 2004). In a facial challenge, the moving party asserts that the allegations contained in the complaint are insufficient on their face to invoke federal jurisdiction. Id.; Warren v. Fox Family Worldwide, Inc., 328 F.3d 1136, 1139 (9th Cir. 2003). When reviewing a facial challenge, the court is limited to the allegations in the complaint, the documents attached thereto, and judicially noticeable facts. Gould Electronics, Inc. v. United States, 220 F.3d 169, 176 (3rd Cir. 2000). The court must accept the factual allegations as true and construe them in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. Id.
Regardless of the type of motion asserted under Rule 12(b)(1), the plaintiff always bears the burden of showing that federal jurisdiction is proper. See Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of America, 511 U.S. 375, 376-78, 114 S.Ct. 1673, 128 L.Ed.2d 391 (1994); Valdez v. United States, 837 F.Supp. 1065, 1067 (E.D. Cal. 1993), aff'd 56 F.3d 1177 (9th Cir. 1995). " In effect, the court presumes lack of jurisdiction until plaintiff proves otherwise." Schwarzer, Tashima & Wagstaffe, California Practice Guide: Federal Civil Procedure Before Trial § 9:77.10 (Rutter Group 2011) (citing, inter alia, Stock West, Inc. v. Confederated Tribes, 873 F.2d 1221, 1225 (9th Cir. 1989)) (emphasis in original). " The proponents of subject-matter jurisdiction bear the burden of establishing its existence by a preponderance of the evidence." Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC v. Ahearn, 749 F.Supp.2d 951, 955-956 (D. Alaska 2010) (citing United States ex rel. Harshman v. Alcan Elec. & Eng'g, Inc., 197 F.3d 1014, 1018 (9th Cir. 1999)).
2. Legal Standard Under Article III
a. Standing
" [T]hose who seek to invoke the jurisdiction of the federal courts must satisfy the threshold requirement imposed by Article III of the Constitution by alleging an actual case or controversy." City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95, 101, 103 S.Ct. 1660, 75 L.Ed.2d 675 (1983). In order to have standing to seek injunctive relief, the plaintiff must show " the reality of the threat of repeated injury," id. at 107 n.8, and a " real or immediate threat . . . that he will again be wronged," id. at 111. The plaintiff cannot rely on mere " conjecture" or " speculation" regarding a threat of injury. Id. at 108.
To establish Article III standing:
First, the plaintiff must have suffered an injury in fact, the violation of a protected
Page 1141
interest that is (a) concrete and particularized, and (b) actual or imminent. Second, the plaintiff must establish a causal connection between the injury and the defendant's conduct. Third, the plaintiff must show a likelihood that the injury will be redressed by a favorable decision.
Mayfield v. United States, 599 F.3d 964, 969 (9th Cir. 2010) (internal quotations, citations, and alterations omitted).
b. Ripeness
The standing inquiry also overlaps with the constitutional and prudential doctrine of ripeness. " [I]njunctive and declaratory judgment remedies are discretionary, and courts traditionally have been reluctant to apply them . . . [except] in the context of a controversy 'ripe' for judicial resolution." Abbott Laboratories v. Gardner, 387 U.S. 136, 148, 87 S.Ct. 1507, 18 L.Ed.2d 681 (1967). " A claim is not ripe for adjudication if it rests upon contingent future events that may not occur as anticipated, or indeed may not occur at all." Texas v. United States, 523 U.S. 296, 300, 118 S.Ct. 1257, 140 L.Ed.2d 406 (1998) (internal quotations omitted). In particular, the doctrine " requires us to evaluate both the fitness of the issues for judicial decision and the hardship to the parties of withholding court consideration." Abbott Laboratories, 387 U.S. at 149.
3. Legal Standard Under the Declaratory Judgment Act
The Declaratory Judgment Act provides that a federal court may issue a declaratory judgment in " a case of actual controversy . . . whether or not further relief is sought." 28 U.S.C. § 2201(a); MedImmune, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc., 549 U.S. 118, 126, 127 S.Ct. 764, 166 L.Ed.2d 604 (2007). " [T]he phrase 'case of actual controversy' in the Act refers to the type of 'Cases' and 'controversies' that are justiciable under Article III." MedImmune, 549 U.S. at 126 (quoting Aetna Life Ins. Co. v. Haworth, 300 U.S. 227, 240, 57 S.Ct. 461, 81 L.Ed. 617) (1937)). The test is " whether the facts alleged, under all the circumstances, show that there is a substantial controversy, between parties having adverse legal interests, of sufficient immediacy and reality to warrant the issuance of a declaratory judgment." Id. at 127. An actual controversy must exist at all stages of review. Preiser v. Newkirk, 422 U.S. 395, 401, 95 S.Ct. 2330, 45 L.Ed.2d 272 (1975).
4. Application
The thrust of Defendant's argument is that the case is not justiciable because she has not personally threatened to prosecute Plaintiffs under § 25982. Instead, the only alleged threats of enforcement were made by county district attorneys--and Defendant claims that their actions cannot be attributed to her. In other words, Defendant argues that Plaintiffs' claims are not justiciable because they sued the wrong defendant.
The California Constitution obligates Defendant " to see that the laws of the State are uniformly and adequately enforced." Cal. Const. art. V, § 13. Nevertheless, Defendant's supervisory authority over local district attorneys is somewhat limited. See id.; Cal. Gov. Code § 12550. If the Attorney General believes that a district attorney is not adequately enforcing the law, she may step in and institute enforcement proceedings herself. Cal. Const. Art. V, § 13. She may also require district attorneys to make written reports and may take charge of an investigation or prosecution where necessary. Cal. Gov. Code § 12550. However, she does not have the ability to force a district attorney to act or to adopt a particular policy. Goldstein v. City of Long Beach, 715 F.3d 750, 756
Page 1142
(9th Cir. 2013) cert. denied sub nom. Cnty. of Los Angeles, Cal. v. Goldstein, 134 S.Ct. 906, 187 L.Ed.2d 778 (2014).
Nevertheless, the parties do not dispute that under certain circumstances Defendant has the ability to institute enforcement proceedings under § 25982. Moreover, aside from any enforcement authority conferred by the California Constitution, Defendant is at least empowered to enforce § 25982 by virtue of being a peace officer. (Dkt. 87: Order at 9.)
Defendant seeks to have her pate and eat it, too. Defendant asserts that she has no present intention to exercise her authority to enforce § 25982. She thus argues that Plaintiffs' claims are therefore not justiciable as to her. However, at the hearing held on July 14, 2014, she refused to stipulate that she would never bring enforcement proceedings under § 25982. Defendant cannot credibly claim that there is no cognizable risk of her prosecuting Plaintiffs for violating § 25982 while simultaneously reserving her right to enforce it.
As this Court previously found, Plaintiffs are in the same position as the trappers who challenged California's ban on certain animal traps and poisons in National Audubon Society, Inc. v. Davis, 307 F.3d 835 (9th Cir. 2002). In Davis, the Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's holding that the trappers lacked standing because there was no " genuine threat of imminent prosecution." Id. at 855. The Ninth Circuit first found that the trappers did not need to show a genuine threat of imminent prosecution because their asserted injury was financial loss caused by ceasing certain animal trapping practices to avoid violating the challenged ban. Id. at 855-56. The Court next found that several factors indicated that this economic injury was caused by the enactment of the challenged proposition:
(1) the newness of the statute; (2) the explicit prohibition against trapping contained in the text of Proposition 4 [the challenged law]; (3) the state's unambiguous press release mandating the removal of all traps banned under Proposition 4; (4) the amendment of state regulations to incorporate the provisions of Proposition 4; and (5) the prosecution of one private trapper under Proposition 4.
Id. at 856. The Court also found that the trappers' injury was redressable because they would resume using the banned traps if the proposition was declared unenforceable. Id.
Plaintiffs assert that they have lost millions of dollars because they were forced to either cease sales of their foie gras products in California or face prosecution. As in Davis, " the gravamen of [Plaintiffs'] suit is economic injury rather than threatened prosecution." Id. at 856.
Also as in Davis, Plaintiffs' injury was caused by § 25982. The statute is relatively new--it only became effective in July 2012. It expressly prohibits the sale of liver products produced as a result of force feeding a bird for the purpose of enlarging its liver. Additionally, local district attorneys have threatened to prosecute Hudson Valley and other similar foie gras producers under § 25982. Even assuming arguendo that these threats are not attributable to Defendant, they illustrate the causal relationship between § 25982 becoming operative and Plaintiffs' economic injury from ceasing sales in California. Moreover, Defendant is both obligated to ensure that § 25982 is adequately enforced and authorized to enforce it herself. Defendant's recent refusal to stipulate that she won't enforce § 25982
Page 1143
reinforces the conclusion that a causal relationship exists.
Plaintiffs' injury is redressable. They assert that they sold their foie gras products in California before the sales ban and that they lost significant revenue as a result of stopping. Presumably they would resume their sales if § 25982 were declared unenforceable. Moreover, at the very least a declaratory judgment or injunction against Defendant would prevent her from using her own authority to enforce § 25982 against Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs' need for certainty that Defendant won't prosecute them for selling their foie gras products is understandable--particularly given Defendant's coy reservation of the right to enforce § 25982. Plaintiffs thus have standing to assert their claim.
Additionally, this is not a case where more facts surrounding enforcement will assist the Court. Plaintiffs " injury is established, and the legal arguments are as clear as they are likely to become." Davis, 307 F.3d at 857. In relevant part, Plaintiffs assert that the PPIA preempts § 25982. This is purely a question of statutory interpretation; its resolution would not vary based on the specific facts surrounding enforcement. The potential hardship to Plaintiffs also favors adjudication. They will continue to lose revenue by ceasing sales of their foie gras products in California unless and until the sales ban is declared invalid. Plaintiffs' claim against Defendant is thus ripe. Id.
For the same reasons, Plaintiffs satisfy the Declaratory Judgment Act's " case of actual controversy" requirement. See Valley View Health Care, Inc. v. Chapman, 992 F.Supp.2d 1016, 1042 (E.D. Cal. 2014) (finding declaratory relief appropriate where a state enforcement agency and private entities disputed whether a state law was preempted).
For the aforementioned reasons, the Court finds that Plaintiffs' claims are justiciable. The Court therefore DENIES Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiffs' complaint under Rule 12(b)(1).[5]
Plaintiffs move for partial summary judgment on their claim that the PPIA preempts § 25982.
1. Legal Standard for a Motion for Summary Judgment
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 requires summary judgment for the moving party when the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, shows that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact, and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a); Tarin v. County of Los Angeles, 123 F.3d 1259, 1263 (9th Cir. 1997).
The moving party bears the initial burden of establishing the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. See Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-24, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). On an issue for which the moving party does not have the burden of proof at trial, the moving party may satisfy this burden by " 'showing'--that is, pointing out to the district court--that there is an absence of evidence to support the nonmoving party's case." Celotex, 477 U.S. at 325. Once the moving party has met its initial burden, the nonmoving party must affirmatively present admissible evidence and identify specific facts sufficient to show a genuine issue for trial. See id. at 323-24; Anderson v. Liberty
Page 1144
Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). A scintilla of evidence or evidence that is not significantly probative does not present a genuine issue of material fact. Addisu v. Fred Meyer, 198 F.3d 1130, 1134 (9th Cir. 2000).
2. Express Preemption
Under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, Congress has the power to preempt state law. Valle del Sol Inc. v. Whiting, 732 F.3d 1006, 1022 (9th Cir. 2013) cert. denied sub nom. Arizona v. Valle Del Sol, Inc., 134 S.Ct. 1876, 188 L.Ed.2d 911 (2014). Preemption may be express or implied. See id. Express preemption " arises when the text of a federal statute explicitly manifests Congress's intent to displace state law." Id. (quoting United States v. Alabama, 691 F.3d 1269, 1281 (11th Cir. 2012)).
The PPIA regulates the distribution and sale of poultry and poultry products. Nat'l Broiler Council v. Voss, 44 F.3d 740, 743 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam). This includes foie gras and other products made " wholly or in part from any [goose or duck] carcass or part thereof." See 21 U.S.C. § § 453(e) & (f).
The PPIA expressly preempts states from imposing:
[m]arking, labeling, packaging, or ingredient requirements (or storage or handling requirements . . . [that] unduly interfere with the free flow of poultry products in commerce) in addition to, or different than, those made under this chapter [the PPIA] with respect to articles prepared at any official establishment in accordance with the requirements under this chapter[.][6]
21 U.S.C. § 467e. This clause sweeps broadly. See Nat'l Meat Ass'n v. Harris, 132 S.Ct. 965, 970, 181 L.Ed.2d 950 (2012) (finding that the nearly identical preemption provision set forth in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (" FMIA" ) sweeps broadly). An " official establishment" is " any establishment as determined by the Secretary at which inspection of the slaughter of poultry, or the processing of poultry products, is maintained under the authority of this chapter." 21 U.S.C. § 453(p). Thus, the PPIA preempts § 25982 if a sales ban on poultry products resulting from force feeding a bird imposes an ingredient requirement that is in addition to or different than those imposed by the PPIA.
Plaintiffs' foie gras products are prepared at official establishments.[7] (Henley Decl. ¶ ¶ 3-4; Henley Decl., Exs. A & B; Cuchet Decl. ¶ ¶ 3-5; Cuchet Decl., Ex. A.) Defendant argues that § 25982 regulates a feeding process occuring before Plaintiffs' birds enter an official establishment. Defendant thus asserts that § 25982 does not
Page 1145
apply with respect to an article produced at an official establishment. Defendant further argues that § 25982 regulates a process rather than an " ingredient" because it regulates the manner of producing the fattened bird livers rather than the use of a particular ingredient. .
The Court recognizes that " [t]he line between regulating the sale of a finished product and establishing product standards will not always be easy to draw. Any finished product can be described in terms of its components or method of manufacture." U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Mfg. Co. LLC v. City of New York, 708 F.3d 428, 434-35 (2d Cir. 2013). Nevertheless, here the line is clear: Section 25982 expressly regulates only the sale of products containing certain types of foie gras products--i.e. foie gras from force-fed birds.[8] Section 25982 does not ban the practice of force feeding; this practice is the subject of a separate provision.
Additionally, it does not matter whether foie gras obtained from force-fed birds is a different product from non-force-fed bird foie gras. It is undisputed that the PPIA and its implementing regulations do not impose any requirement that foie gras be made with liver from non-force-fed birds. Thus, Plaintiffs' foie gras products may comply with all federal requirements but still violate § 25982 because their products contain a particular constituent--force-fed bird's liver. Accordingly, § 25982 imposes an ingredient requirement in addition to or different than the federal laws and regulations.[9] See Nat'l Broiler Council., 44 F.3d at 745 (finding that a California law imposed a labeling requirement in addition to the PPIA where " plaintiffs' members can label [certain specified] poultry products . . . as 'fresh' and comply with all federal labeling requirements but not comply with the California Act" ); Armour & Company v. Ball, 468 F.2d 76, 83-85 (6th Cir. 1972) (holding that the FMIA's analogous preemption provision preempted Michigan's sales ban on Grade 1 sausage containing non striated muscle meat because it imposed requirements in addition to or different than the federal requirements).
a. National Meat Association v. Harris
Defendant asserts that Plaintiffs' preemption argument is foreclosed by the Supreme Court's reasoning in National Meat Association v. Harris. In National Meat the Court considered whether the FMIA preempts California's statute regulating the treatment and sale of nonambulatory swine. In addressing that issue the Court applied only the first sentence of the preemption clause, which preempts requirements within the FMIA's scope " with respect to premises, facilities and operations of any establishment . . . in addition to, or different than those made under this [Act]." Nat'l Meat Ass'n, 132 S.Ct. at 969 (quoting 21 U.S.C. § 678) (alterations in original). The California statute at issue barred: (1) selling or buying nonambulatory animals for human consumption; (2) producing
Page 1146
meat for human consumption from nonambulatory animals; and (3) selling meat for human consumption from nonambulatory animals. Id. at 970. It also imposed a host of other requirements regarding the treatment of nonambulatory animals. Id. The plaintiff was a trade association representing meatpackers and processors, including operators of swine slaughterhouses. Id.
The Court rejected the argument that the statute was not preempted because it applied only to animals that would not be turned into meat. Id. at 973. The Court found that the FMIA's scope included animals not destined to become meat for human consumption. Id. The Court distinguished cases holding that the FMIA does not preempt bans on slaughtering horses for human consumption, stating that those cases applied " at a [distance] from the sites and activities that the FMIA most directly governs." Id. at 974. According to the Court, unlike the California statute before it, the horse-butchering bans prevented horses from ever being delivered to, inspected at, or handled by a slaughterhouse. Id.
Additionally, the Court considered whether the sales ban on meat from nonambulatory animals avoided preemption because it applied only after the slaughterhouse's activities concluded. The Court rejected this argument, relying on a functional interpretation of the sales ban as it functioned within the statute as a whole. Id. at 972-73. The Court found that the sales ban helped to implement and enforce the statute's other requirements directly regulating activities on Slaughterhouse's premises by ensuring that slaughterhouses remove nonambulatory swine from their production process. Id. at 972. The Court thus stated that the sales ban" functions as a command to slaughterhouses to structure their operations in the exact way the remainder of [the California statute] mandates." Id. at 973. Based on this functional interpretation, the Court found that the sales ban was preempted as an additional or different requirement with respect to the premises, facilities, or operation of an FMIA-covered establishment. Id. According to the Court, if the sales ban weren't preempted " then any State could impose any regulation on slaughterhouses just by framing it as a ban on the sale of meat produced in whatever way the State disapproved. That would make a mockery of the FMIA's preemption provision."
National Meat 's application to this case is far from clear. On its face, the California ban on sales of meat from nonambulatory pigs appears analogous to California's ban on sales of foie gras from force-fed birds. Additionally, the need to prevent states from avoiding preemption via strategic legislative drafting applies with equal force to § 25982. Thus, if the nonambulatory pig sales ban is preempted by the FMIA then § 25982 should also be preempted by the analogous PPIA.
However, the Court's functional approach to statutory construction suggests that § 25982 should be understood as a ban on force-feeding birds rather than as a sales ban. Under this reading, Defendant might be correct that § 25982 does not impose an ingredient requirement because it regulates a process. If so, then § 25982 would not be preempted.
However, this result would turn the Supreme Court's reasoning on its head: Instead of hindering crafty draftsmanship, this analysis would use a functional approach to enable states to creatively avoid preemption. Under this analysis, any state would be able to avoid preemption of ingredient and labeling requirements by purporting to regulate the process of producing an ingredient rather than directly regulating the ingredient's use.
As this discussion illustrates, there is a critical distinction between National Meat
Page 1147
and the case at bar: National Meat considered a different portion of the preemption clause than the one here at issue.[10] Much of the Court's analysis relied on the fact that the statute expressly preempts regulations with respect to " premises, facilities and operations" of covered establishments. It did not consider the portion of the FMIA's preemption clause applicable to ingredient and labeling requirements. Thus, much of the Court's analysis does not apply to the case at bar.
In particular, the distinction that the Court drew between the California nonambulatory animal statute and a horse-slaughtering ban is not helpful in the context of Plaintiffs' case. It may be true that, like a horse-slaughtering ban, § 25982 regulates only activities that occur apart from official establishments' operations. However, this fact is irrelevant to the question of whether § 25982 imposes an additional or different ingredient requirement. In contrast to the operations and premises clause, the clause dealing with ingredient and labeling requirements inherently contemplates preempting regulations applicable outside of the operations and facilities of official establishments. By stating that it applies " with respect to articles prepared at any official establishment," 21 U.S.C. § 467e, the statute makes clear that it applies beyond the activities actually conducted by or at an official establishment.
Additionally, unlike in National Meat, § 25982's sales ban appears in a separate statue from the ban on the act of force feeding birds. While this division would be unimportant if it were purely formalistic, Plaintiffs' case illustrates that the divide is functional. Plaintiffs only assert that the sales ban applies to their foie gras products. They do not challenge the conduct ban, nor do they argue that the conduct ban applies to their force-feeding of birds outside of California. In contrast, the plaintiff in National Meat challenged both the conduct and sales bans, and was apparently impacted by both.[11] Thus, unlike in National Meat, it makes little sense here to consider § 25982 alongside § 25981 and thus to interpret § 25982 as the functional equivalent of § 25981's conduct ban.
Given this ambiguity regarding whether or how National Meat applies to Plaintiffs' case, the Court concludes that the best approach is to apply National Meat 's reasoning to reach a result consistent with the goals that the Supreme Court embraced. The Court therefore concludes that National Meat requires the Court, in deciding Plaintiffs' express preemption claim, to prevent California from circumventing the PPIA's preemption clause (or as National Meat said, from " mak[ing] a mockery" of it) through creative drafting. Thus, California cannot regulate foie gras products' ingredients by creatively phrasing its law in terms of the manner in which those ingredients were produced.
For the aforementioned reasons, the Court finds that the PPIA expressly preempts § 25982. The Court therefore GRANTS Plaintiffs' motion for partial
Page 1148
summary judgment.[12]
1. For the aforementioned reasons, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs' motion for partial summary and ENTERS JUDGMENT in favor of Plaintiffs on their third cause of action concerning preemption. The Court therefore PERMANENTLY ENJOINS AND RESTRAINS Defendant and her agents, servants, employees, representatives, successors, and assigns from enforcing California Health and Safety Code § 25982 against Plaintiffs' USDA-approved poultry products containing foie gras.
2. For the aforementioned reasons, the Court DENIES Defendant's motion to dismiss.
For the reasons stated in the Court's January 7, 2015 Order, (Dkt 155), JUDGMENT is entered in favor of Plaintiffs on their third cause of action concerning preemption. The Court hereby PERMANENTLY ENJOINS AND RESTRAINS Defendant and her agents, servants, employees, representatives, successors, and assigns from enforcing California Health and Safety Code § 25982 against Plaintiffs' USDA-approved poultry products containing foie gras.

کوکوی مارچوبه (Asparagus kookoo) recipe came about as a result of a recent trip to my local vegetable market where I noticed bundles of fresh green asparagus neatly tied and arranged on the shelves. I enjoy the taste of fresh asparagus either steamed or grilled plain with just a little bit of coarse salt. However, as I reached to pick a bundle up, it dawned on me that I had never cooked a Persian-style asparagus meal and among seemingly endless options I have decided to make a new version of kookoo/kuku incorporating asparagus.
To enjoy the in-season asparagus I have combined fresh herbs, chopped walnuts and barberries with eggs and I'm very happy with the results. For this recipe, I have added a touch of cayenne and cumin to bring just the right amount of flavor to the egg and asparagus combination. I must point out though that the traditional kookoo/kuku sabzi, like most dishes in the Persian cuisine, is not spicy at all. I also did not chop the vegetables as finely as I normally would for the traditional kookoo. For those unable to find barberries you can substitute it with dried cranberries instead.
Kookoo-ye Marchoobeh - Asparagus Frittata
Serves 4-6
1 pound fresh asparagus (about 20 medium sized stalks), ends snapped and cut into 2-inch pieces
8 large eggs
1 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1 cup chopped fresh scallion (green parts only)
A few sprigs fresh mint, chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup dried barberries (can be found in most Persian grocery stores), picked over and rinsed well
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
A pinch of cayenne pepper (or to taste) *optional
A generous pinch of cumin *optional
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil (extra virgin) or vegetable oil
- Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the asparagus pieces lightly for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle a bit of salt over the asparagus.
- In the meantime, combine the chopped herbs, walnuts, barberries and the spices together in a large mixing bowl.
- In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs until yolks and whites are completely blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg over the herbs and walnut mixture in the large bowl and blend well.
- Add the egg and herb mixture over the sauteed asparagus in the skillet. With a spatula flatten the surface of the kookoo. As eggs start to set take the spatula and run it around the edges and make four large wedges or eight small ones in the skillet. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes on medium-low heat.

Blacks also fought, died for Canada in Great Wars
By MURPHY BROWNE
Black Canadians have a long and honourable tradition of patriotism, sacrifice and heroism in the British and Canadian Armed Forces. From the American Revolution (1775-83) to the Korean War (1950-1953), Blacks fought, bled and died on behalf of Empire, King and Country. During the American Revolution, the Crown encouraged slaves to desert their rebel masters and join the British lines. Following the end of the Revolution in 1783, Black veterans joined the exodus of United Empire Loyalists to the Maritimes and Upper Canada.
Excerpt from The Black Battalion: 1916 – 1920, Canada's Best Kept Military Secret by Calvin W. Ruck (published 1987).
Calvin Woodrow Ruck was born on September 4, 1925, in Sydney, Nova Scotia to Barbadian immigrant parents, George and Ida Ruck. In 1987, Ruck published The Black Battalion: 1916 – 1920, Canada's Best Kept Military Secret, documenting the contributions that African-Canadians made during World War I.
On November 11, when we see the images of those who contributed to the battles that were supposedly fought to preserve democracy and peace, the faces are usually White. There is hardly any recognition that men and women from racialized communities were maimed and killed during the two most famous European tribal conflicts of the 20th Century, World War I and World War II.
After both conflicts, African-Canadian men returned to the country of their birth to continue being treated as third-class citizens. They were relegated to working at jobs for which they were overqualified because of the supremacist mindset of White Canadians.
White Canadians who served in the armed forces were welcomed back as heroes and returned to their privileged positions. Their bravery is extolled in books and films. There is no recognition that racialized people even existed during that time when, in reality, men from every country that was colonized by Europeans were dragged into the melee.
When Britain became involved in the armed conflict that was originally called the Great War, it was recognized that it was a "White Man's War." The African-Canadians who tried to enlist to serve "King and Country" were told that their services were not needed because they were not White. African-Canadian men who felt that it was their duty as Canadians and men to enlist to defend "King and Country" persisted in trying to enlist in spite of the steady stream of insults.
Ruck, in explaining their reasons for persisting, writes: "Black people in a number of provinces viewed military service in wartime not only as a right, but a responsibility. They were not prepared to accept meekly a policy, official or unofficial, that rejected them on racial grounds".
Eventually, the establishment of a segregated "all Black battalion", the No. 2 Construction Battalion, CEF, was authorized on July 5, 1916 with headquarters in Pictou, Nova Scotia. African Canadian men and boys (some as young as 16) from across Canada travelled to Nova Scotia to enlist. Two sons of legendary formerly enslaved African John Ware (credited with bringing the first long horn cattle to Canada in 1885 and contributing to activities that made the Calgary Stampede famous) travelled from Alberta to enlist.
Arthur and William Ware enlisted in the No. 2 Construction Battalion in November 1916 and were part of the more than 600 members who sailed on the SS Southland from Pier 2 in Halifax on March 28, 1917. Ten days later, after surviving a voyage through submarine infested waters, they arrived in Liverpool, England.
The men who served in the battalion travelled from Alberta, British Columbia, Cape Breton Island, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Ontario and even from across the USA, to enlist. They served in Europe (France and Switzerland), participating in trench combat until early 1919. Following the Armistice of November 11, 1918, the members of the battalion returned to Canada where they were officially disbanded on September 15, 1920.
The brave African-Canadian men who had put their lives on the line for "King and Country" faded into obscurity, ignored even on November 11 when Canadians honour the war veterans. When the "great war dead" who lie in Flanders Field are spoken of, African-Canadians who made the "supreme sacrifice" are not included. The images we see in the media speak for themselves.
White Canada may have forgotten about them but the veterans who had served in the No. 2 Construction Battalion, CEF were not forgotten by their community. On May 19, 1977, the Nova Scotia legislature incorporated the Society for the Protection and Preservation of Black Culture in Nova Scotia. In 1981, the Society approved a motion to sponsor a reunion and recognition weekend for veterans of World War I. On Friday, November 12, 1982, the African-Canadian veterans of World War I were honoured by their community in Nova Scotia.
As a result of the reunion and recognition weekend, Ruck was inspired to write The Black Battalion: 1916 – 1920, Canada's Best Kept Military Secret, to "commemorate and pay lasting tribute to all the Black Canadians who faithfully served King and Country in the Great War".
In the preface of this tribute to the veterans of the Great War, Ruck writes: "Many Canadians of all races have no idea that Blacks served, fought, bled and died on European battlefields, all in the name of freedom. The story of the overt racist treatment of Black volunteers is a shameful chapter in the history of this country. It does, however, represent an important part of the Black legacy and the Black experience".

The Milk in session!
Essex boys The Milk bring their instruments down to Maida Vale to record a session track and Rob gets a little dusty as he digs deep into John Peel's record collection for a special archive track. Rob continues through the alphabet, repeating classic John Peel session tracks - this week the letter B!
Plus Rob reports on all the weird and wonderful goings-on in the world of music in The 6:22 News, plus the usual two hours of eclectic music from the UK and beyond with Radio 1's resident ponytail: Rob da Bank!

Skip to comments.Boycott on Miller Beer Working, Keep Up Pressure Urges Catholic League
Posted on 10/03/2007 4:04:46 AM PDT by monomaniac
By John-Henry Westen
SAN FRANCISCO, October 1, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Catholic League in the United States which, along with 200 supporting groups, last week launched a boycott of Miller Brewing Co. has indicated that the boycott is having an effect. The boycott was launched as the result of the beer company's sponsorship of a sadomasochistic gay street parade which features full nudity and public sex acts witnessed by children who attend the parade.
The Folsom Street Fair took place yesterday with the same notorious features for which it is known. Catholic League president Bill Donohue described the scene as reported in the San Francisco Chronicle saying, "couples led each other up and down the street with dog collars and leashes, men in thong underwear played Twister .' There was also a man who was flogged to such an extent that 'red lash marks covered his back.' Other gay men decided to 'walk around naked' in front of women and children."
In a startling revelation Donohue said "there was a female stripper who was hoisted in a cage over a Roman Catholic Church on a Sunday when Masses were being said."
The response from Miller to the boycott, "has been encouraging, though incomplete," said Donohue. "The Milwaukee brewer issued a news release on September 26 saying it took exception to the use of its logo on an offensive poster (for the parade) mocking the Last Supper. Today, it extended its original statement by apologizing for the misuse of its logo, 'particularly [to] members of the Christian community who have contacted us to express their concern.'"
The apology from Miller also indicated the company was reviewing its policies on event sponsorship. "We are conducting an immediate audit of our procedures for approving local marketing and sales sponsorships to ensure that this does not happen again," it said.
"We called Miller today asking for clarification of this statement, and we are pleased to note that a full-scale review of all its promotional policies is underway," said Donohue. "It is not certain at this time whether Miller plans to sponsor events like the Folsom Street Fair in the future. Accordingly, while we are not calling off the boycott, we are tabling a serious course of action that we were going to announce today. We expect that Miller will resolve this issue before too long."
To express concerns to Miller Brewing Co.:
My boycott of Miller "beer" started the moment I tasted that horrible swill!
I stopped drinking that crap years ago.
Old Fred Miller would be spinning in his grave over what the South Africans have done to his company.
I prefer good German beer.
It's not just Miller brewing that should be shunned.
Every company that supports the immoral, sick and perverse
homosexual agenda should be boycotted by every decent American.
Hear me FORD?
Ben and Jerrys?
Easiest. Boycott. Ever.
What's a "pilsner"? Didn't I see one of those on that table on the poster?
I have a friend who is a beer alcoholic. He once told me that drinking a six-pack of Bud one night will give you a headache the next day but drinking a six-pack of Miller High Life won't. I tested both beers at different times and verified his observations. (Nevertheless, the boycott is no problem for me because I am now strickly an O'Doul's drinker.)
Other boycotts seek to punish the offender.
The Miller boycott is of that latter catagory. At this point, I don't care if they remove their sponsorship for this event. The damage is done. I do not want to associate myself with them. My pleasurable beer-drinking activities will not be diminished by having anything to do with Miller SAB or it's subsidiaries.
Like Toshiba, they are on the Boycott for Life list.
When I was in college, all I could afford was A-1 Little Brown Jugs (our motto: "Forty ounces for forty cents").
Yeah. I'm still boycotting Sprint because of that whole Candice Bergen mess.
What Candice Bergen mess. Or, perhaps I should say, "Which Candice Bergen mess?"
The guy is a total hump. Half the time I don't even know what he is talking about. The whole show should be dropped. They have a baseball commentator and the hump. Both Sunday and Monday night football need to reload their commentators they all suck. Also, both seem to think they are the show with constant close ups of the schmos when the teams are lining up and snapping the ball. Drives me crazy. I tune in to watch the game, not listen to Tony Kornheirser attempt to be relevant. Shoosh.
I thought there was already a boycott of Miller going on in response to their support of LRaza.
Oops, should read La Raza.
Why would people who are not affected by mental disorders want to be associated with those who are?
Hey Mille, ya know whut ya kin do wid yer suds!
"...sadomasochistic gay street parade which features full nudity and public sex acts witnessed by children who attend the parade..."
I have a difficult time wondering who would go see these perverts. But worse and most appalling of all is that children were taken to see it too. Who were the bigger perverts? Those in the parade or the parents?
I am sickened by it.
Wow. You said it! Couldn't have said it better myself. We all feel that way.
I took a sample of Miller High-Life to the vet for testing and and he said, "it's so sad that a pregnant horse would have cancer."
I like and buy Miller Lite regularly - NOT ANY MORE!!!
Keep it up Corporate America - see how many regular Joes you can piss off.
Hey, life's choices.
I choose to support those who I believe supports issues that I do and the homosexual agenda is not one of them.
There are plenty of great beers out there. If need be ask me and I'll give ya my list of A+ ones.
As for cars or trucks?
Plenty that aren't going to turn and give any of my money that is going to go for that same cause.
I can't honestly call it a boycott, when I'm refusing to buy their product because it's garbage.
There's a nice batch of Brown Ale fermenting in my closet, right now.
Not to mention the Spanish pandering they did 2 weeks ago. I turned it on during the 1st quarter and hear Al Michaels talking Spanish along with the score board written in Spanish. I was like, WTF????
As I travel around the country I like to reference a brewpub website or two I know. I love to go into places you'd never think of and have a locally made beer.
Specially on a hot day after a good walk.
Franziskaner ping
Many years ago, CB was a spokesperson for the long distance company Sprint. She had that post for about 8 years. During that time she also starred in the TV series Murphy Brown.
On the show, her Murphy Brown character became a single mother, and did a considerable amount of mocking the importance of fathers.
This became somewhat controversial, so CB made all the talk show rounds and steadfastly upheld the views of her character, saying things like fathers are unnecessary and irrelevant, and that sort of thing.
Eventually, after considerable heat, she turned around and started to acknowledge the importance of fathers. By then, it was too late.
My brothers, who drink ALOT of beer, have stopped buying Miller Beer and I did not even have to tell them, they heard about it on Savage.
I don't even pretend to get it anymore. It's sick.

Though most people, kids especially, recognize Kevin Henkes through his lovable mice characters such as Lilly, Wemberly, and Julius, he has also written and illustrated several titles that feature other creatures and characters as well. All are ready to entertain youngsters in the way that only Kevin Henkes can deliver.
A Good Day does not actually seem to start out so price of cialis at walgreens good. In fact, everything starts off quite badly for the characters in this cialis generic tale. A small tadalafil citrate yellow bird has lost his favorite tail feather. He is rather sad, and as he searches, he meets can you buy viagra over the counter in australia other animals who have suffered the same problem. A little white dog, a small orange fox, and a young brown squirrel have all had mishaps of their own, and no one is having a sildenafil citrate very pleasant day.
Together, the woodland animals band together and with a little bit of persistence and a little bit of luck, they will find just uk pharmacy viagra what they need, even if it wasn't what they were looking for in the first place. Together, they will find out how to take a bad day and turn it into A Good Day.
Kevin Henkes puts a sweet story into the hands of young children ages 3 to 6 (though younger kids may enjoy it just as much). It has a sweet message that adults will like and a story that will engage children as the animals search for the things they have lost. The story ends with a happy group of animals, and even a young girl who finds a particular yellow feather and puts it into sildenafil citrate her hair.
Henkes's children's books are always a joy to read out loud to kids. Teachers in daycares and parents at home will appreciate the illustrations just as much as the youngsters listening in. With bold colors using watercolor techniques, Henkes paints pictures that bring the animals to life as the bound and fly through the forest on their quest to find the things they've lost. Guaranteed to bring smiles to young faces, A Good Day at bedtime will leave everyone feeling pleasant at night.

Axiom of Equity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Axiom of Equity was proposed by Samuel Clarke (1675 - 1729), an English philosopher, in the spirit of the ethic of reciprocity. In his book "A Discourse Concerning the Unchangeable Obligations of Natural Religion, and the Truth and Certainty of the Christian Revelation", Clarke wrote:
Whatever I judge reasonable or unreasonable for another to do to me; that, by the same judgment, I declare reasonable or unreasonable, that I in the like case should do for him.
Hastings Rashdall, in his 1907 book The Theory of Good and Evil, restated the axiom as:
One man's good is of as much intrinsic worth as the like good of another.

Nice As Fuck, the Jenny Lewis-fronted supergroup, play a packed store front in New York City in video for uplifting single "Door."
Nice As Fuck, the indie rock supergroup composed of Jenny Lewis, Tennessee Thomas and Erika Forster, released its debut video for single "Door."
The clip was shot at New York City's Deep End Club, an East Village clothing boutique and community space owned by Thomas, which is closing this weekend. In honor of the store, Nice As Fuck play a high-energy dance party, featuring the Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr. as the landlord and Moldy Peaches' Adam Green hawking newspapers on the street.
The group, which first performed at a Bernie Sanders rally, alluded to the Vermont senator with a Sanders T-shirt on Thomas' drum kit. The overarching message of the band is about embracing political and social consciousness, as illustrated by the dancers' shirts and signs extolling slogans like "Give a Damn." The band also performed their political tune "Guns" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wearing Sixties-inspired anti-war garb.
Nice as Fuck's debut album is out now from Lewis' own Love's Way Records.
