Ummmm....what's this for???
Answer:
D) Meat Inspection Act in 1906.
Explanation:
Upton Sinclair's book <em>The Jungle</em> was a fictional book about the experience of immigrants working in the meatpacking industry in Chicago. Even though this book was fictional, many of the details about working conditions and the unsanitary ways of the meatpacking industry were factualy. This book outlined the lack of cleanliness and disgusting habits of the meatpacking industry, including rats within some of the meat they sold to the American public.
This book caused outrage amongst American citizens. President Teddy Roosevelt responded to this book and its content by passing the Meat Inspection Act. This resulted in government regulation of this industry and a set of sanitary standards that busineses must meet.
