The hardships and the struggles faced by the people working in the industry was his main concern in the novel which made the novel the best seller. In the year 1904 Sinclair was selected by one of the socialist newspaper 'Appeal to Reason' to go to Chicago and write about the mistreatment happening to the workers in the meatpacking industry. He conducted extensive research on the issue and came up with the masterpiece "The Jungle". At first, the novel was not given much attention to get published but later when it got published it brought a lot of change in the mind-set of the people. The cruelty which the animals had to undergo and the unhygienic condition faced by the people working there changed the ways of people to shop for food. Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act were the initiatives taken by the government in 1906 in response to the issue.
