News Article - Written By Sekai Harris

  Many things have been said about food processing,some negative and some positive. Recently I sent
my reporters to do some research on The Food Processing Debate just to have a better understanding of everything going on. Senator Albert Beveridge brought it to Americas attention that by the turn of the 20th century, Americas food was as he said “rotten”. The novel “The Jungle”, By Upton Bell Sinclair, was written to let America know about the reason why people say so many negative things about food processing. The novel says that the reason for all of the negative comments is because the slaughter houses are filthy and that that is no place to handle any type of food. After reading about these slaughter houses many people were turned off, including President Theodore Roosevelt.
