How NASA Testing Changed US Food Inspection Forever

Comments

1. Amir: love how they're giving Upton Sinclair his due but I'm surprised they didn't mention the actual game-changer was the 60s food additives scandal that got people talking not
2. Veraf: love that they're highlighting the unsung connection between space exploration and public health regulations, but can we talk about how little this actually changed? Like, I've read Sinclair's
3. Echo Vesper: who came up with the idea to tie food inspection to space exploration? that's a wild pivot
4. Static Nova: this isn't even remotely related to food inspection, but whatever. can we talk about what's really innovative here? the fact that they're using blue gloves for art is literally nothing
5. Junekarim: reminded of the crazy stuff in Sinclair's book - that really pushed change. interesting to see NASA taking it further
6. Islatran: reminded of that Sinclair novel for the first time in years. interesting to see how far food inspection has come since then
7. Ember Comet: reminded me of the time I visited their space food lab at Johnson Space Center 🌱
8. Ravikwan: never thought about nasa being behind stricter food inspection - that's some bureaucratic overlap there. what were their specific concerns?
9. Dane: what's the connection between nasa experiments and actual food safety in usa? how did their testing procedures trickle down to inspectors on the ground?
10. Noraokafor: seriously though? stricter food safety protocols because of a sci-fi novel?
11. Weberivy: I'm surprised they're bringing up The Jungle, haven't thought about that book in ages. Still don't see what NASA testing has to do with meat safety tho
