It detects and destroys diseased meat before it gets to the buyer. The act reassures the people of sanitary handling and preventing contamination. It terminates any chemical or drug residue left on the meat before packaging. The meat inspection also avoids any type of false labeling on any products. When the Act was passed, the meat packaging industry had to succumb to continuous inspections and investigations by the Agricultural Department which would be paid for by the meat packaging industry.
Upton Sinclair was an author who wrote more than 90 books, but his most famous, The Jungle, was written in 1906. In the book, he reported on a meat packing industry he had visited. Not only was the meat processed repulsively, but the conditions for the workers were unbelievably abominable. The book sold more than 150,000 books in the first year. Americans were appalled by the truth in their meat products, including how dead rats were ground together and sold as sausage, and how guts were packaged and sold as “potted ham.” When President Theodore Roosevelt read it, he was disgusted, among with other U.S citizens.
This is demonstrated through the introduction of the decree in 1882 which forbade children under 12 years old from participating in labour by Alexander III. Nicholas continued with these reforms by introducing factory inspections in 1904 and placing limits on working hours, in 1917 the average working hours in a week consisted of 50 to 60 hours and 8 hours per day. Another reform that took place was Stolypin’s installation of a sewerage system in St Petersburg in 1911 after 100 000 deaths were reported as a result of cholera in 1910, this suggests that the tsars treated the workers well during their reign. Although this is the case, Bloody Sunday in 1905 suggests that the workers were not actually content under the tsars due to working and living conditions and the firing of other workers. However there is evidence to suggest that the workers were not treated worse during the rule of the
The killing of animals is what human kind did in the beginning of time for food, because they didn’t have ovens, or local stores. So they had to make fire and put their hunted food on it. All of this could happen after an apocalypse, which happened in the story. The end of time is something that’s definitely not wanted. It is very much feared also.
For example, this corn is fed to pigs to give people thicker bacon. Just imagine someone eating two-hundred pounds of contaminated meat every day; nobody could tolerate that. The food industry is selling sick cows to people for money. They are killing cows who are just trying to find a place to peacefully graze on the earth. The cows have no say in what they have to eat so they are pretty much fed toxic garbage.
I agree with carter in that without a language animals are unable to form thought and reason, and thereby have no realization of there existence. I also believe in the eating of meat because of natural order, I believe that, because we are a superior race we possess the right to eat weaker animals to survive, just as the wolf eats the rabbit because the rabbit is the wolves natural prey. Although vegetarians may argue that because we are able to reason and discern that another organism is feeling pain, unlike the wolf, we have an obligation to our prey to not cause them pain. But I believe that while we may cause pain to another animal, it is the natural order, animals that are born as prey are preyed upon, whether or not they are born on a farm or in the wilderness doesn't change the fact that they are still able to satisfy a predators needs. Rachels and other vegetarians claim that
I have now been in front line for just over a week. The smell out here in these trenches is so bad it has made our toughest men sick. The smell is so vile I can’t even describe it over a letter. To give you a an idea of what the men out here have to contend with, there is raw sewage from an open cesspit; body odour from men who haven’t washed in ages; dead bodies decaying in shallow graves, also they are out in the open in no man’s land. The smell of dead rotten bodies attracts rats.
Many unsanitary and just plain disgusting routine procedures of this industry are unknown to most consumers. One example would be using dead pigs and dead horses along with chicken manure for cattle feed. Practices like these are to blame for epidemics like mad cow disease an e-coli. Eric Schlosser's book was written to inform the reader about the truth behind
John Smith said, "...one amongst the rest did kill his wife, powdered [i.e., salted] her, and had eaten part of her." ( The starving time pg.2) This shows that the colonists were so daspreat for food that they did anything to obtain it. Not only did the colonists spend most of their time looking for gold but they also had little agricultural experiance. To make things worse, the land of which they setteled on was swampy and desease infested. John Smith said, "The colonists, a group with little agricultural experience and weighted with gentry, instead found a swampy and disease-ridden site."
They lived in the trenches which were often water filled and rat infested. The smell of corpses and death was all around. Many of the doughboys were infested with lice or “cooties”, which was probably gotten from the rats. The sound of exploding artillery was heard and those who went “over the top” were often gunned down by German machine guns (The Western Front, 2010). For months these men lived in these trenches without baths, little food and knowing that death or mustard gas awaited them.
