CA was fighting the recent attempt by the feds to "standardize" food
labeling, because our state laws are more strict than the fed's proposal.
The fed version would have eliminated a lot of consumer protections that
Californians now rely on in choosing consumables.

Actually the way I understand the way that most of these type laws work
is that the state can have STRICTER laws then the Feds, but if the federal
law is stronger, (more restrictions) it RULES and the state's opinion be
danged.
That holds true for all kinds of things from pesticide to food
processing and is also where there is a battle for sovereignty in the drug
war.
