      Mass produced food in general really. Upton Sinclair wrote a book about it, The Jungle. Deals with how awful the conditions were both for the workers (largely immigrants) and the end result product. Book was published in 1906. Largely responsible for the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act. But some of the same things still going on.
