“I aimed at the public’s heart and by accident hit its stomach.”When Upton Sinclair wrote his novel The Jungle, he intended to expose the plight of the American factory worker and spur his readers to action on their behalf. Instead, the book brought more attention to the products of those factories and whether they were suitable for consumption. Though the novel inspired changes in American food safety laws, it was challenged in other countries due to its Socialist attitudes.(images from Sinclair’s The Jungle (1961 and 1906 editions)) -- source link
