Today in class we went over our blog projects again. I learned that there were many problems with mean prior to the progressives era. They didn't have labels telling how old the meat was and people started to get sick and die. So they made laws against it and that was started by the USDA. (United States Department of Agriculture) There would be rats, fesis, rats poisoning, and people spit all of the place. There were no refrigerators. If you were to eat the meat you would eat the rat fesis, poisoning, and peoples spit. They were then required to have the labels and what was in the meat and how old it was. There used to be drugs put into theses things like severely addicted drugs. Today they still have labels and much more information it.The ICC is the Interstate Commerce Commition.I couldn't even image what it would be like to have to eat meat back then. I'm pretty sure I would have been a vegetarian back in those days!
