What is it about?
This paper summarizes several aspects of worker and community health related to industrial food animal production. We ask whether several state laws could limit our knowledge about potentially hazardous production practices, and therefore put workers and communities at risk.

Why is it important?
State laws play an increasingly important role in determining how our food gets made, who makes it, and how we protect workers and communities from potentially hazardous practices. Public Health professionals have unique opportunity to examine the effects of such laws from a human health perspective.
Perspectives
We hope that this paper spurs discussion about whether laws can influence the flow of public information, and therefore create a "chilling effect" on research in worker and community health.
