To highlight labor violations in the meat-packing business, Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle in 1905.
Sinclair also discovered what was in the goods that were being offered for sale to the general public. Chemicals were used to coat spoiled meat in order to mask its odor. Head cheese was made using ground-up skin, hair, stomach, ears, and nose. Rats crawled over meat in the warehouse, leaving behind mounds of waste.
Sinclair said that he intended to strike America's heart but instead struck its gut. Even President Roosevelt, who came up with the mocking epithet "muckraker," felt compelled to take action. To stop these abhorrent practices, Congress swiftly approved the MEAT INSPECTION ACT and the PURE FOOD AND DRUG ACT.
