Back then, the meat industry was extremely toxic and harmful withmeat falling on the rat infested floor, and being ground up and sold off to families to eat. Drugs, didn't show the ingreients, causing companies to put large amounts of addictive substances in products such as baby food and formula, to get them hooked on the product so the families would have to keep buying it.

The FDA works on the work they have done already and works to improve the quality of their work. Another orginazation working for health improvements is the CDC which uses their power to assess health issues and try and help inform people on how to stay safe and healthy.
