From Upton Sinclairs The Jungle There would be
meat that had tumbled out on the floor, in the
dirt and sawdust, where the workers had trampled
and spit uncounted billions of germs. There
would be meat stored in rooms and thousands of
rats would race about it..A man could run his
hand over these piles of meat and sweep handfuls
of dried rat dung. These rats were nuisances,
and packers would put poisoned bread out for
them they would die, and then the rats, bread,
and meat would go into the hoppers together
12
In 1906 Sinclairs novel The Jungle drew outrage
against the Chicago meatpacking industry for its
arrogant disregard of basic health standards.
This led to government regulation of food and
drugs.
