Answer 1

Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle" was published in 1906, exposing unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry. This played a significant role in persuading Congress to regulate food purity and eventually led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act in 1906.
