#6 Critical Analysis - Part II

The main idea of the Jungle article was to explain to us how these meatpacking industries are insanitary and because of their unsanitariness they make these diseases that are unhealthy for us humans. Whenever meat was so spoiled they would either can it or chop it up into sausage. They had rats, and the packers would put poisoned bread out for them; they would die, and then rats, bread, and meat would go into the hoppers together because the employees would be too lazy to get them out of the way. There was no place for the men to wash their hands before they ate their dinner, and so they made a practice of washing them in the water that was to be ladled into the sausage. and we get contaminated because in this type of privy, which is usually open in back from the seat to the ground, the excreta is deposited upon the surface of the ground, where it can be reached and scattered about by flies, birds, domestic fowls and animals and with every rain may be washed into the open well or spring, or into the adjoining garden, where vegetables become contaminated with the human filth. Then follow the diseases like Typhoid fever, dysentery, diarrhea, summer complaint, and other diseases. I wonder if the privy thing is still going on? I also wonder if these conditions are still going on today in this day in age. This article talks about the North Carolina passing a law I wonder if there is an updates law for California. I just might have to do some research. This can probably pertain to the world around us because now that we know the knowledge it is like what are we going to do about it? We can change the way we eat. We can check out the law on things of that nature as of today and see if there is any thing that needs a change to be made for the better so we can fight for it and stand up for our rights.
