Theodore Roosevelt actually said...

"I urge the immediate enactment into law of provisions which will enable the Department of Agriculture adequately to inspect the meat and meat-food products entering into interstate commerce."

"Let me repeat that under the present law there is practically no method of stopping these abuses if they should be discovered to exist."

"A law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general Government to inspect and supervise from the hoof to the can the preparation of the meat food product."

"Such a record should make every true American proud of the Army and the Navy."
