Why is this pig wearing a crown? Pork was the unquestioned "king" of American meat in the era before factory-style meat production. Pigs could be fed cheaply on scraps and their meat could be cured and stored easily without advanced tools—an advantage in an era before refrigeration. Once meat production became big business in the late 1800s, the pig was dethroned. Chicken and beef began to replace pork on the center of the American dinner table.

By the early 1900s, Americans were eating more meat than ever before, but many were concerned about the quality of foods produced in distant factories. "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, which turns 110 today, catalyzed these concerns among legislators and everyday Americans about food safety. Stay tuned for more #FoodSafety history in our next post. ????? Image credit: Warshaw Collection of Business Americana collection, Archives Center, National Museum of American History.
