520 $aThe Jungle butchered the meatpacking industry when it came out in 1906. Exposing the grisly truth of the unsanitary practices that resulted from American wage slavery, the book was "aimed for the public's heart but by accident hit it in the stomach," according to Upton Sinclair. Even with the grossest portions censored out, The Jungle led to the pure-food legislation of 1906 and the creation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, more recent books in the vein of The Jungle ́ Ruth L. Ozeki ́s My Year of Meats (1999) and Eric Schlosser ́s Fast Food Nation (2002), for instance ́ indicate that the horrific practices still go on.
