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.
