<span>B. A large percentage of the food and medicine Americans consume comes from foreign countries.

The FDA was created to monitor food and drug production in the US. With a changing economic system following WWII, more of the foods the US consumes and product development coming from others countries, the FDA now needs to monitor those imports before allowing them into the consumer market in the US. </span>

20 points!<br> World War ll: <br> Why did the Japanese want to build an empire in Asia?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The Japanese felt that conquering resource-rich territories would establish economic self-sufficiency and independence. They also hoped to jump-start the nation's economy in the midst of the Great Depression. Therefore, Japan set its sights on East Asia, specifically Manchuria, with its many resources.


In short, the Japanese thought that acquiring resource-rich territories would be better for their economy and prevented foreign states from blocking Japans' access to raw materials and crucial sea lanes for getting resources from other places.
