Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) is anticipated to assume the chair of the Nutrition Sub- Committee of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food and Forestry.  He will replace Senator Cory Booker, (D-NJ), an avowed opponent of intensive livestock agriculture based on his lifestyle as a vegetarian.

Senator Booker has re-introduced into the 118th Congress a package of bills intended to reform the production chain for livestock and to impose extreme restrictions on large egg complexes, broiler integrators and the "Big Four" packers responsible for over 75 percent of U.S. red meat production.

At present Sen. Fetterman is undergoing treatment for depression. EGG-NEWS extends wishes for a speedy recovery
