if the legislature is satisfied that oleomargarine is unwholesome, or that, in the tubs, pots or packages in which it is commonly offered for sale, it looks so like butter, that the only way to protect the people against injury to health, in the one case, or against fraud or deception, in the other, is to absolutely prohibit its sale, it is within the constitutional power of the legislature to do so.
I'm wondering if, in a place like Connecticut, where products are manufactured and exported, if this could be used to force the allowance of import. Not exactly direct relation, but 'if you are going to prohibit as unsafe for consumption, you can not then export.' That probably just pushes the few manufacturers still in those states out if successful.
