  • Description and Reviews

    Schlosser's investigation reaches its frightening peak in the meatpacking plants as he reveals the almost complete lack of federal oversight of a seemingly lawless industry. His searing portrayal of the industry is disturbingly similar to Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, written in 1906: nightmare working conditions, union busting, and unsanitary practices that introduce E. Almost as disturbing is his description of how the industry “both feeds and feeds off the young,” insinuating itself into all aspects of children's lives, even the pages of their school books, while leaving them prone to obesity and disease. summarized from Amazon.com [reviews|asin=]
