Notes
- - Caption label from exhibit "Herblock Looks at 1967": Using irony to reinforce his opinion that the meat industry needed improvement, Herblock advocated for U.S. Senator Walter Mondale's proposed federal regulation to close loopholes in the existing meat safety legislation, the Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1907. Ralph Nader (b. 1934), a public interest attorney, supported new legislation, arguing that industry practices exposed consumers to contaminated food. President Johnson signed the Wholesome Meat Act of 1967 into law on December 15, 1967. Both Nader and author Upton Sinclair were present for Johnson's signing. Sinclair's novel The Jungle (1906) had led to the initial meat industry reforms.
