The Poison Squad: One Chemist's Single-Minded Crusade for Food Safety at the Turn of the Twentieth Century by Deborah Blum

4.0

A must read for anyone who is interested in knowing what’s in their food. This book is about the history of food regulations and the fight to stop companies from lying about what’s in their food. It mentions a lot of shady food practices that happened and the fight to have pure foods. I also liked how the book included women’s support and contributions to making these changes even though the lawmakers and scientists involved were mostly male.
