Oddly enough they are not much known outside the USA. I only read it while at college a few years back in the USA. It was riveting. I did not pay much attention to the grossing out of meat production. The plight of the emigres , and the plight of Lithuanian unsung hero got me the most attention.

Another motivation for Roosevelt to pass the Meat Inspection act: During the Spanish American War, canned meat was shipped to troops fighting in Cuba and Puerto Rico. This canned meat was often very poor quality, and then cooked and rotted in the cans under the harsh Caribbean sun. Not even Roosevelt - a gifted taxidermist and former cattle rancher - could stomach it. Many of the American troops, including Roosevelt's men, got sick and even died from the meat. In effect, Roosevelt wanted to avenge those men who died from the bad canned meat.
