Upton Sinclair in “The Jungle” wrote about the plants in which meat was packed. He described exactly how and what goes into the process. He went into extreme detail when talking about the conditions of the plant and exactly how gruesome it was. His account of the meat being spoiled and manipulated in ways so that the people buying it would never know are horrifying and made a huge impact on the industry. Eric Schlosser in “Fast Food Nation” chose to talk about slaughterhouses in which cattle is transformed into the meat eaten at fast food restaurants. He went into detail about what working at the slaughterhouse entails and the conditions workers have to deal with. Although they both approached different sides of the industry, they were both dedicated to exposing the horrific conditions. The result for both writers was a truly disturbing account of both factories that changed the way people view what they eat forever. Reading either of these excerpts puts images into one’s head that they never thought could be associated with the food they consume and that is extremely effective in getting the point across.
