In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln took several actions to help influence food regulation in America. Here are the options and their explanations:
1. He passed two laws: The Meat Inspection Act and The Food and Drugs act.
This is correct. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt signed these laws into effect to ensure the safety and labeling of food products. However, they were not passed by President Lincoln in 1862.
2. He appointed the first chemist to serve in the Department of Agriculture.
This is incorrect. While President Lincoln did establish the Department of Agriculture in 1862, there is no recorded evidence of him appointing the first chemist to serve in the department.
3. He required all bread to be made with standard ingredients and no unnecessary fillers.
This is incorrect. There is no historical record of President Lincoln requiring such regulations on bread ingredients.
4. He founded the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control.
This is incorrect. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was founded in 1906, while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was established in 1946. President Lincoln did not found these organizations.
To summarize, the correct answer is: He did not take any specific actions in 1862 to influence food regulation in America.
If you'd like to learn more about how food regulation developed in the United States, I recommend researching the history of food regulation legislation and the actions taken by presidents such as Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
