2000s: Bacon achieves God-like status (apparently as a result of industry efforts)
2024: 500% surge in colorectal cancer among young people since 1999
Bacon is one of very few foods on the WHOs "definitely causes cancer" list. I'm guessing it comes as no surprise that this increase in cancer can possibly be explained by companies pushing profit.
I don’t think people started eating THAT much more bacon, although I am sure that all processed meats are a quick road to cancertown if you eat more than a tiny tiny amount
My money would be on a confluence of all sorts of various cancer causing things in our food and environment, each of which produces a significant but small impact on its own, and then maybe like 1-2 big ones which we will never really find out about
My money is on energy drinks
