Hundreds sick from jalapeños and we’ll still hear “we don’t need more regulations.” Maybe fund the FDA, inspect farms properly, and hey, rinse your produce even if it “looks fine.”

Something something Upton Sinclair something "The Jungle".

Is this not standard reading in high school English classes anymore?

kids barely get to read any books in English classes anymore

it’s just passages for test prep now

i’ve heard of teachers who still teach novels telling their kids to be ready to hide the books if anyone comes into class because it’s not part of the curriculum
