During his 1904 presidential campaign, Theodore Roosevelt promised Upton Sinclair that he would look into the unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry after reading Sinclair's book "The Jungle." This ultimately led to the passing of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906.
