Bacon mania

Bacon mania is passionate enthusiasm for bacon in the United States^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] and Canada.^[6]^[7] Novelty bacon dishes and other bacon-related items have been popularized rapidly via the internet.^[8]^[9]

The movement has been traced to the late 1990s when high-protein foods became a more prominent diet focus due in part to the Atkins diet.^[10]^[11] Since then, bacon-focused events and gatherings celebrating the food have been reported and bacon-related exploits have been featured in the media. Many have criticized bacon mania due to the promotion of processed meats.
