Shutdown stops food inspection- Madison Malonson

Government shutdown curtails FDA food inspections https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/09/health/shutdown-fda-food-inspections.html
  As we all know the shutdown from a while back caused a lot problems fro people around the country, but this one seems pretty gross. Because of the shutdown the FDA is not inspecting seafood, fruit, vegetables, and more. They will still be inspecting meat and poultry, but the workers will go unpaid. The FDA oversees 80% of  Americas food supply and oversees imports from other countries, so the fact they are not inspecting our food is pretty unsettling.
 This reminded me of the poor work a conditions and gross meat in factories described in The Jungle. Even though this situation is not nearly as bad as those in the Progressive Era, it is still unacceptable.
