How did Nonfiction November go for everyone? It was a success for me and I read 5 non-fiction books which was way more than I thought I’d get to! My favorite of the bunch though was definitely this one. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair was one of my favorites in high school, and honestly is still one of my favorite classic novels. I remember reading it and being so disgusted by the condition of the meat packing warehouse and that it was a fairly accurate representation of what was really happening in the early 1900’s and not just a work of fiction. It has stuck with me ever since, which is why I was so drawn to this book. The Poison Squad by Debroah Blum focuses on food safety practices, or lack thereof, during the late 1800’s into the early 1900’s in the United States. The book’s main focus is Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley a chemistry professor at Purdue University who was eventually named Chief Chemist of the Agriculture Department. Dr Wiley fought for safer food practices, and even lead controversial studies on groups of young men who became known as “The Poison Squad.” He and his team studied the harmful chemicals that were being added to the food and the effects those chemicals have on the human body. These studies eventually led to the passage of the 1906 Food and Drug act. If you’ve read the Jungle and thought how awful the food was handled in that book, just wait until you get your hands on this one. Companies were so eager to jump on the rise of industrial chemistry and were adding unsafe chemicals to their products as preservatives so they could sale more product. You wouldn't believe some of the chemicals that were added to foods back then, and it had me scratching my head as to how anyone survived the Industrial Revolution. Not a name known by many, but this book made me realize how much we owe to Dr. Wiley and the work he put forth during this time. He really paved the way to ensure that the American people were aware of what was added to their food and that they were not consuming poison. If you liked The Jungle or are interested to learn how the FDA became a thing, then you definitely need to read this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My lovely husband gave me this one as an early Christmas present. It’s the story of the scientist who first got pure food and drug laws passed. He was a fascinating character, but I wanted a little more science and human anecdote and a little less bureaucracy. #nonfictionbooks #sciencebooks
It still looks like Christmas has thrown up in my house... But my kids are giggling with each other and I'm snuggled with a nerd book in a comfy chair... So do not disturb. We can clean tomorrow... . @deborahblum7 I have been completely sucked into this book and have devoured half in just one day! What a great read! . . . #blessthismess #boymom #messesandmemories #christmas #thepoisonsquad

Where are you reading today? I’m reading through my daughter’s tae kwon do class. Currently reading The Poison Squad by Deborah Blum, which is making me very thankful for modern food safety regulations. ?? No formaldehyde in my milk or burnt rope in my spices, please and thank you. #amreading #nonfiction #books
