The Jungle

I mean, this sounds like the kind of stuff that Upton Sinclair wrote about in 'The Jungle' like back, you know what I mean?
Matt mentions 'The Jungle' by Upton Sinclair as he draws a parallel between the horrific conditions of a pork production facility discussed by a listener and the appalling working and living conditions depicted in the book. He suggests that the listener's descriptions are reminiscent of the early-20th century meat-packing plants that Sinclair famously exposed.
The Omnivore's Dilemma
