10 Key Symptoms Of Early Diabetes That Shouldn't Be Ignored

Food Additives and the Rise of Serial Killers Part 1
In the early 1900’s, sociologist and writer Upton Sinclair was out to expose government and corporate corruption. To gather factual information for his writings, Upton went undercover, as a laborer, in a meatpacking plant, and wrote about his experiences through a fictitious book about an immigrant family who came to the United States seeking a better life. What the main character of his book discovered was that the American dream was a lie, and what his readers discovered impacted our government and the laws surrounding the sale of meat, and the way commercial foods are currently preserved.
