I was especially shocked seeing as now; we have so many food regulations that most people don’t think twice about the food that is going in their bodies. I am now thinking, do these things still appear in our lives today? It was nice to know that Theodore Roosevelt took action in an attempt to fix these major problems.

How to Beat the Meat: On Becoming a Vegetarian “We perhaps know more than we care to admit, keeping it down in the dark places of our memory-disavowed.
