### 📣What is the EATS Act?
This dangerous bill, recently rebranded as The Food Security and Farm Protection Act, would stop many states’ regulations on agriculture and effectively deregulate the industry across the country. **Worker protections, food safety measures, and more are under attack** — and this deregulation promises to open the gates for Big Ag to get bigger, by giving it free rein to use the cheapest, most destructive practices it can.
Can’t join us on Tuesday? See the bottom of this event description for a sample script to send your friends and family.
#### ⚠️ Dangerous Implications of the EATS Act
The EATS Act, recently rebranded as The Food Security and Farm Protection Act, is the latest effort by corporate Republicans to curry favor with their Big Ag donors by shielding factory farms from regulation. The range of laws that it would affect is ridiculously and dangerously broad, and could include regulations like:
– Limits on what tools or chemicals farmers can use on their farms
– Labor laws that protect workers or prevent child labor
– Laws that restrict what chemicals can go into baby formula
– Measures that prevent or contain diseases like bird flu
