🗓️ Today in History – July 11, 1798

The U.S. Marine Hospital Service was born — the first federal step toward public health and food safety.

From feeding the sick to fighting food fraud, it was the beginning of government trying (and often failing) to protect what we put in our bodies.

226 years later, the battle over food, control, and nutrition is louder than ever.
