- Its 12-question first edition uses a 0–4 scale, with scores held until a second reader checks each one against its source.
Field notes
The proposed first edition covers 51 states and DC, with 12 questions grouped into four sections. Its scale runs from laws that close access to those that leave no barrier, and the page says court rulings count when they stop enforcement statewide. The separate Public Plate plan would ask volunteers to request records from schools, hospitals, prisons, and state universities, then compare animal-product purchases with plant proteins.
