Two Pivotal Laws In The HIstory Of The U.S.

The Meat Inspection Act and The Pure Food and Drug Act.

 

Meat Inspection     

Pure Food and Drug Act

   

               The Meat Inspection Act was passed in 1906. This law did seek to address an economic or social problem in the United States. How it did was because if this law was not established in 1906 many people today would just be cooking food anyhow not caring who lives or dies by their food and not knowing whether the food they're serving is well cooked or not. If a tasty delicious quarter pounder patty fell on the floor without this law, the cook would just slab it on the bun, add the extra toppings and serve it to the customer. They probably won't even wipe off the dirt. This is an economic problem because many people can and will die because of one chef's reckless mistake. This became a social problem when Upton Sinclair published his book "The Jungle." This book uncovered the dirty secrets of the kitchens in most restaurants back in the days. You can buy it today if you like in stores. The intent of this law was to search each and every one of the pieces of meat before it was thrown on to the grill cooked with some infectious diseases and spread to a humans body system and harboring their blood stream. Basically to make sure the meat was clean and safe through thorough checkups. The extent in which the law succeeded was when we started realizing that this is not funny people's lives are being taken by this so it has to stop now.

              The Pure Food and Drug Act was also passed in 1906. This law as well as the Meat Inspection act sought to address an economic or social problem in the United Sates. The way it did that was because many citizens would be eating their food without any clue who prepared it and how they prepared it. The untold and undiscovered secrets were brought out as if they were a rude awakening to many people. It was through a book named "The Jungle" bye Upton Sinclair. However this law wasn't put into recognition until Indiana senator Albert Beveridge brought "The Jungle" to Theodore Roosevelt. President Roosevelt was not happy with the unsavory meat and uncleanliness of the factories in which it was prepared. That was both the build up of the economic and social problems in the United States. The intent of this law was for the creation of indescribable diseases and the sales of dirty meat to be ceased or put to end. The extent to which the law succeeded in addressing the problem was when they brought the book to the eyes of President Teddy Roosevelt, that was when it could no longer go on.

              Both The Pure Food and Drug Act and The Meat Inspection Act sought to address the same economic and social problem. The social problem was the "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. That book brought about many social issues between one citizen and another. The economic problems happened when people were going to more than enough funerals and hospitals. Due to the nasty meat many citizens were falling ill and passing away. Both of these laws fought to destroy the same thing. Meat drenched in filth. Now the meat are on constant watch by the (FDA). The Food and Drug Administration is what FDA stands for.
