pure food and drug act and the meat inspection act
Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 and Meat Inspection Act of 1906.
subsidy= to companies willing to help build railroads that would stretch across the u.s regulation= congress passed the pure food and drug act, built agency that tested all food and medicines
So, at the time of the Progressive Era, major changes that were made relating to public health care were regulation of the meat packing industry, as well as the regulation of the Food and Drug industries. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 banned interstate shipping of impure food and deliberate mislabeling of food and drugs. The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 required federal inspection of meat processing to ensure sanitary conditions. Both these acts are still active, and they have really changed the way we eat and our standards not only with food, but also with the pharmaceutical industry. Although the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) was developed later, this was the start. In these ways, the reforms of the Progressive Era affect our everyday lives, in a good way. This was also the start of health insurance, which some regard as good and others say is bad. Take it however you wish.
Perfect, pure atonment
