By Upton Sinclair The Jungle

Background Sinclair began writing dime store novels at age 15. Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1878 By his death in 1968 he had written more than 80 books. He said in 1962”You don’t have to be satisfied with America as you find it. You can change it.”

Change it he did! Upton Sinclair is best remembered for his novel The Jungle published in 1906. He wrote it to expose his research of the Chicago meatpacking industry. His novel directly led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.

The Novel Instead he discovered the astonishing truth about “Packingtown” the busy, filthy stockyards of Chicago. Story about Jurgis Rudkis a Lithuanian immigrant coming to America with high hopes of wealth, freedom, and opportunities.

Excerpts It was only when the whole ham was spoiled that it came into the department of Elzbieta. Cut up by the two-thousand-revolutions-a-minute flyer, mixed with half a ton of other meat, no odor that was ever in a ham could make any difference ….. …and “California hams,” which were the shoulders, with big knuckle joints, and nearly all the meat cut out…whose skins were so heavy and course that no one would buy them…-That is until they had been cooked and chopped fine and labeled “head cheese”!

Excerpts This is no fairy story and no joke: the meat would be shoveled into carts, and the man who did the shoveling would not trouble to lift out a rat even when he saw one- ….there were things …which a poisoned rat was a tidbit. There would be meat that had tumbled out onto the floor, in the dirt and sawdust, where the workers had tramped and spit uncounted billions of consumption germs.

Meat Grinders

Excerpts …these rats were a nuisance, and the packers would put out poisoned bread….they would die, and then the rats, bread and meat would go into the hoppers. (funnel-shaped cylinder to grind meat and other ingredients) It was too dark in those storage piles….,but a man could run his hands over these piles of meat and sweep off handfuls of the dried dung of rats.

There was no place for the men to wash their hands before they ate their dinner, and so they made a practice of washing them in the water that was to be ladled into the sausage. Link to Pure Food & Drug act

What do you think ? 3. What were some of the reasons the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 passed so quickly? 4.”You don’t have to be satisfied with America as you find it. You can change it.” Upton Sinclair, 1962 What is the meaning of this quote? 1. Why would the meat packing company use spoiled meat in their products? 2.
