Exposure trends in the US from 1960 or 1970 to 2005. (A) US population increased nearly two-fold between 1955 and 2005. (B) Fertilizer consumption more than doubled over nearly the same interval. (C) Sales from one popular fast food franchise and (D) one major meat processing company increased more than 8-fold from 1970 to 2005. (E) In contrast, watermelon consumption remained relatively flat, and (F) cantaloupe consumption nearly doubled in parallel with population growth, but sales were minor compared with fertilizer, fast foods, and processed meats.
