Sinclair's 'Jungle' has echoes for today [audio 30min]

A hundred years ago, a heart-rending expose of the conditions in America's meat industry (Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle) scandalised President Teddy Roosevelt and led to dramatic legal changes in the way the food industry was controlled. In the second of two special"Food Programmes", Sheila Dillon comes up to date and investigates claims that The Jungle has echoes for today. She reports from North Carolina and meets workers and management at the world's largest hog processing plant at Tar Heel -- where 32,000 pigs are killed every day. The meat it turns out is Grade 'A' and low cost -- but is there a price to pay in other ways?
