(e) Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act – Upton Sinclair published The Jungle in early 1906, a hard-hitting expose of working and living conditions in the packinghouses and their environs in Chicago. That part of the book received very little notice, however; as Sinclair himself described it, “I aimed for people’s hearts, and hit their stomachs.” His descriptions of sausage making (combining putrid meat, rat ****, the occasional part of an extremity from a worker, and a blend of original spices) stirred TR and Congress into action.

Dang that is freaky, it looks like the guy on the right has a guy between his arms while he is swinging?

"Hey, would you mind holding this half pig down while I swing a 2 foot cleaver at it."

Working in a slaughter/packing plant is extremely stinky. If ever in Greeley Co. you can drive right by one. Make sure your windows are up, it slows down the stink for about 5 sec.

Lots of cattle raised in this part of NC, most totally on pasture. A few friends and I bought a cow last year that had been raised on pasture and butchered at a local packing house. 1/4 of a cow is a lot of meat for a family of 2! It's priced per pound, not by the cut.....$4/lb. They will also butcher hogs and deer that you bring in.
