This source wasn’t helpful in the slightest way. It only gave a very brief synopsis of the Food and Drug Act. As a matter of Fact this gave no in depth information whatsoever. I would not recommend this link to anyone because I am positive that if you research the entire document you can find loads more information. This link shows you other random links to things that other websites would like you to purchase.
FDA
This link was very helpful because not only did it show the Act in its entirety, but it also showed other things such as definitions and rules. This also placed every part of the act into its own category. This made it easy to navigate through the entire web page to any particular part that you desire. This also has the effects of the Food and Drug Act in future years.
Vaults of Erowid
This is also the Act in its entirety. It exactly states when the Act took effect as well as it gives a general two sentence overview on what the act is about. It is really the same as any of the other page about the Act. This isn’t the first link that I came across so I would recommend this link as well as any other link that gives you the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 in its entirety
This site was beneficial to me because it allowed me to gain the opinion of a person other than myself. Also, it allowed me to see the repercussions of the Pure Food & Drug Act of 1906 in the next few years; The next act to pass was the Harrison Act (1914). This link gave me more information about the drug part of the act. Most of the other links that I have researched have told me about the labels for food but this told me about the labels on drugs
This taught me about the Senate and the House of Representatives. This had a lot of information which was the actual Act. It contains all of the Sections in Order. It also tells about the territories such as Washington DC. Plus it explains what the Secretary of Treasury. It was hard to learn much from this because it was very long and hard to concentrate on. This is a good document if you want clear cut facts but if you want to grasp a firm knowledge quickly then I would not recommend this to someone of a younger age.
Taming the 'Jungle'
This web site had a lot of very useful information. It helped me to better understand what exactly happened with the Food Processing Debate. It has a lot information about President Theodore Roosevelt and his to secret Commissioners. It also talks about how Roosevelt called a reporter’s findings "Revolting". I believe using this website helped me more than some other websites because it was simple and got straight to the point. Some of the other links weren’t as useful because they didn’t state all of the facts, they were more about what the debate was but not what it was and what happened with it.
Food Processing Debated
This was not one of the best links to use for this project because Wikipedia can be edited by anyone but it was still informational. This website talked about “The Jungle” which is a novel that was made in 1906 written by a journalist named Upton Sinclair. This website basically explained about the novel more than the bigger picture. I like this website thought because it informed me about the novel therefore giving me a better understanding when the topic of “The Jungle” comes up. I wouldn’t recommend that someone use this a their first choice but more as a fall back.
This was a very useful document because it talks about Upton Bell Sinclair and gives us more information on the author of the novel "The Jungle". After it talks about the author it goes into detail about why Upton Bell Sinclair added certain things into his novel. It points specific parts of the novel that catch most peoples attention when they read it. I believe out of all of the documents, this is one of the best and most informational. I would recommend this to other people as a source because it has a lot of great information in it.
Upton Bell Sinclair
This is a very useful link because it is basically like a biography on Upton Sinclair. I think it is important to know more about the author because you can learn more about where he came from and try to see things from their perspective. This is a very useful website to me. I would recommend that people get to know the author more when your reading something that that person wrote.
This website is very useful to because it gives another perspective on the topic of the food processing debate. This article talks about Theodore Roosevelt's life and also the article talks about how Theodore Roosevelt felt about all of this “craziness” going on. This site starts off talking about how at the turn of the 20th century America’s food was rotten. The site said that the reason for this “rotten food” was the dirty slaughter houses. They also talk about how the law now prohibited allowing the diseased food in interstate and foreign commerce. I this is a great source of information.
