research paper
My primary source for my research paper is the Jungle written by Upton Sinclair. I didnt chose this book because of me gen ed class or whatever i actually thought that i was going to be one of the few to do this topic haha i guess i wasnt as clever as i thought. I think that im going to have a unique spin on my paper though because im going further into the meat industry as a whole as well as talking about slaughterhouses. I used to be a vegetarian for many of the reasons that i have included in my research so i find my topic to be avery interesting topic. Sinclair's novel brought attention to America that the meat being produced was not sanitary and there were many faults in the slaughterhouses, so my goal for my paper is to bring attention to the fact that there are still issues today with the meat industry and there needs to be a change.

Ew gross I am sorry you did not eat meat for a time in your life. But very cool topic. Obviously, with Sinclair's novel we know that 100 years ago the meat being prepared for Americans was nowhere near sanitary and was quite bad for our health but today that is supposed to have changed. However, I feel like we hear all of the time about contaminated meat or diseased produce and I always wonder about really how sanitary our food is and if all that much has changed. I certainly hope so and as an avid meat lover I push my fears to the back of my mind anyways but it is always good to hear the truth.
