This week you will be going to the LMC to compile a list of five possible topics for your research paper, which officially begins after break. These topics must all have a connection with The Jungle, and must be preliminarily researched before you leave for break on Wednesday afternoon. I expect you to list your five topics in question form here on this website (in the comments section) with short explanations as to how they connect with Upton Sinclair's book.
After you have listed your possible topics, please do the following:

1.) In The Jungle, Upton Sinclair sheds light on how the large industries nonchalantly serve unhealthy food. Today, a fake sweetener called aspartame has extreme adverse health effects. If aspartame is so terrible, how was it approved by the FDA?

1. What were the many diseases throughout the Progressive Era? - The many diseases that are caused as a result of what the food goes through, the chemicals used and whether the meat is safe or not like in the book. Meat back in the day was in horrible conditions, so now we need to find out if its stilll causing disease.
