From the Documentary, American Experience: The Poison Squad. In 1903, the Chief of the Agricultural Chemistry Division of Purdue University, Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley sought out 12 Healthy Young Men to test out the effect of adulterated food on human bodies. In tonight’s episode, we discuss the history and controversies of the FDA from before and after it was founded, putting all greedy corporations to shame, from Toxic Infant formula to Infected meat and poultry killing Millions there is NO DOUBT an abundance of horrific stories to be told. After I published the episode on the “Radium Girls” I hit a gold mine in dark secrets surrounding the Progressive Era and Workplace corruption, cover-ups, and mistreatment. This will be among many more cases I talk about, highlighting what has been done and still needs to be done for justice to be served and Knowledge to spread.
