How did "The Jungle" affect the way Americans thought about the ways meat was produced?
Americans wanted someone to do something about the filthy meat packer production. After reading "The Jungle," Americans thought of the Meat company poorly. The unsanitary conditions that was exploited in the book, disgusted the readers, and of course would disgust anybody. Who would want to eat anything thats been infested with germs?
Upton Sinclair was a progressive. He wrote the book "The Jungle" which was read by many Americans. "The Jungle" made a huge impact to the Americans after learning what was happening to the meat they were buying. It became an issue big enough that President Roosevelt passed a law called the Meat Inspection Act. This was a progressive acheivement, if it weren't for the book that Sinclair wrote, we would all probably not know about it at all.
