Nicolas Appert invented a way to keep food fresh even as it was sent across the equator. The method involved placing food in a jar, boiling it and sticking a cork in it, and this later led to the invention of canning which we see today. The idea that food could be processed and packaged opened up a new door to what we could eat and where we could eat it. When I say where we could eat it, I also mean in front of the television. TV dinners began in the fifties, but it was not until the sixties that everyone had a television and they became popular.

Whether you agree with that point or not, it’s easy to see that we as Americans have a strong history of religion.

Many companies and people had failed to label foods and drugs properly claiming that they are something they are not. “Before the act, companies could alternate ingredients for a more inexpensive, low quality substitute. This made for a better profit for the producers” (“Results/Impact.”). However, with the Pure Food and Drug Act these “companies could either shut down or label the foods properly” (“Results/Impact.”). Many were against consuming products that were harmful to them which is why “[t]he House vote was 240-17” (Robertson, Derek, et al.), making the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 “one of the most daring demonstrations of bureaucratic autonomy in the history of the United States” (“Pure Food and Drug Act (1906).”).
