Food

Factory owners used to be responsible for providing their paper apprentices with food. Children constantly complained about the quality of the food. In most Cotton mills and or textile mills the children had to eat their meals while still working. This meant that the food tended to get covered with the dust from the cloth. Other mills were fed porridge and boiled bacon; it was very hard to get food in the industrial revolution due to little pay and poor wages.
