Upton Sinclair wrote an expose on how manipulated American factory workers were and how socialism was the answer. And everyone’s takeaway was just, “ew they’re putting rats in our food”. Which, yeah that sucks, but is kinda missing the bigger picture.
Anyway, whenever I see issues with the FDA being underfunded I think about some of the imagery in that book and cringe
Actually the real moral of The Jungle was "ew theyre putting the greasy kilbasa-groping fingers of polish immigrants in my food"
I figured the FDA still had a max allotment for non-citizen digits per 10k units delivered
