For several decades, California has been the epicenter of the American food scene. While data show that the state produces one-third of the nation's food supply, California is much more than where the food we eat comes from. One in eight American diners lives in the state, which is home to more than 90,000 restaurants. California is also where eating trends are born, and where fast food, Chez Panisse, Mexican salsa, Wolfgang Puck, organic foods, street food, and Napa Valley wines became durable icons of American culinary culture. The state's place atop the national food chain, though, is in jeopardy. In recent years, California legislators have pursued regulations that negatively impact many important agricultural and culinary trends. State and local governments have banned or severely hampered a veritable smorgasbord of foods, including everything from eggs to French fries, foie gras to tacos, raw-milk cheeses to bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Meanwhile, California Proposition 65 requires proprietors of restaurants that serve olives, bread, and chicken to warn customers that they sell cancerous products. The nation's breadbasket now wants us to fear bread. California's turn against food is worrisome across the country, too, since in addition to its place is the nation's breadbasket and culinary trendsetter, California is the country's cultural and regulatory bellwether. Regulations passed in California often become laws elsewhere, at both the state and federal level. Companies that can no longer market a food in California may be forced to decide whether that product - robbed of twelve percent of its potential market - is still viable. This article explores the bright past, gloomy present, and cloudy future of food in California, and what this means for food in America. Section I describes the nature and history of California's agricultural and culinary development. Section II explores several of California's state and local food bans and restrictive food regulations. Section III analyzes the - California effect and the nationwide impact of California's food crackdown, and describes several ways that burdensome California food laws have impacted agriculture or dining on a national scale. Section IV analyzes the likely causes of the state's burgeoning crackdown on food, and explores several arguments over California's food crackdown. Finally, this article concludes that what California and America need in place of what some critics label - food fascism is food freedom: the right of people to grow, buy, sell, cook, and eat the foods they want.

"Getting tough on crime" has been one of the favorite rallying cries of American politicians in the last two decades, and "getting tough" on repeat offenders has been particularly popular. "Three strikes and you're out" laws, which effectively impose a 25-years-to-life sentence at the moment of a third felony conviction, have been passed in 26 states. California's version of the "three strikes" law, enacted in 1994, was broader and more severe than measures considered or passed in any other state. Punishment and Democracy is the first examination of the actual impact this law has had. Franklin Zimring, Sam Kamin, and Gordon Hawkins look at the origins of the law in California, compare it to other crackdown laws, and analyze the data collected on crime rates in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco in the year before and the two years after the law went into effect. They show that the "three strikes" law was a significant development in criminal justice policy making, not only at the state level, but also at the national level. They conclude with an examination of the trend toward populist initiatives driving penal policy. The importance of the subject and the stature of the authors make this book required reading for policy analysts, criminal justice scholars, elected officials, and indeed any American seeking to know more about "get-tough" criminal sentencing.
