Millions of people each day go to the store and purchase meat, produce, and medicine, without worrying if it’s safe, or whether it may be contaminated with things like paint stripper or cocaine. Prior to 1906, there was no organization to monitor whether or not any food or drug contained what it said, let alone if it was safe to be consumed. Even though legislation wouldn’t come for many more years, research into food safety dates all the way back to 1862 when scientist Charles M. Wetherill, who worked for the Department of Agriculture, began testing samples of food for purity. Wetherill’s first project focused on the alcohol content in wine but later led to him and other scientists focusing on problems such as contaminated milk from cows with

For my book report I chose to read The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. This book focused on the malicious traits of capitalism. These flawed features are displayed throughout the book through events that the characters go through. The book later turns to show that the solution to all the capitalist problems happening in the book is socialism. I believe the overall purpose of this book was for Sinclair to express his beliefs of a better system and to expose the dangerous things that come with capitalism.

For most of us, we take life for granted; We forget about all the everyday things like hot food, readily available running water, and a climate controlled house, all things that we take advantage of on a daily basis.
