Peoples exposure to E. Coli is not new. Something else changed in the last few years. What could it be?

Diet. When I was younger than 16, we and everyone had home cooked meals every day, no choice. Places like McDonalds did not start showing up in my area when I was 12 or 13.
As time went on, divorce rates increased and/or both spouses were forced to work full time, meals gravitated towards fast and/or ultra-processed food. Why ? The parents had no time to cook.
So here we are.
I wish the article had rates based upon household income too. I kind of expect the children of the very rich is avoiding this trend because they could have servants/hired caregivers cooking for them.
That's an interesting idea however McDonalds has been around since 1940 even if it has not been available to you for very long. I think it must be something else.
While the comment is phrased like it could say that, I don't think that you are responding to the right point.
The point was that people eat fewer freshly prepared meals than before. And while I'm on the go, so I won't research a study, I'm pretty sure this is true.
Additional points:
- street food in Western countries is never really nourishing, almost exclusively fat, sugar, meat protein and processed white bread
- quality of fast food has gone down the drain on top of that, at least here
- not enough daily physical activity
- lots of stressful jobs without physical activity

Average number of sexual partners has skyrocketed for sure..
Diet and UPFs as well ? There are so many things that have changed.
Average number of sexual partners has skyrocketed for sure..
In the last few years? I would suggest it's much lower than it was in the 60's and 70's during the free love movements and other related movements. Prior to the 80's there was a lot more unprotected sex prior to the aids epidemic. Porn with a lot of body hair basically exploded when VHS tapes were created and people experimented a lot more.
Diet has certainly gotten worse. Most of the artificial crap was being introduced in the early 70's with a trailing 10 year lag on T2D increase but that has definitely gotten worse with time. What big change was introduced into the diet in the last few years?
I highly doubt that when they are talking about a rise in colon cancer they are talking in relationship to the 60s or 70s. And what does porn with body hair has to do with anything ? Your reply seems ideologically motivated.
