I remember my maternal grandfather having some sort of pork product just about everyday when I'd eat breakfast with him when I was a kid. Many, many decades ago.
Modern culture has played a huge part in promoting foods of all types.
Bacon just happens to taste the best out of all of them.

bulldog,,,,,has a good point
maybe our meats are so lean today and we cut away all the fat, buy dry boneless chicken breasts ,,,that much of the meats have much less flavor than years ago
maybe the bacon tastes so good, because much of the lean meats today are bland.
It seems to me that in the last few years there has been a lot of hype about eating bacon. How did this start? A campaign by the pork industry? The use of bacon by some famous chefs? A backlash against being told to eat healthy? All three? Something else?

I don't call it a craze, hype, campaigns or anything else... I call it GOOD TASTE! And that started way longer than a few years ago for me.
As for your questions, Atkins wrote some books a while back telling everyone to eat loads of protein and mentions bacon a lot in his diet plan. That may have affected the thinking of some of the more impressionable people. I just remember seeing the book in a store after it was already really popular and all I can really remember is reading bacon and agreeing.

I am not sure who started the craze but I never got on board. Yes! bacon is very tasty but I have a pound that I bought on sell <sale>and it has been sitting in the refrigerator for quite some time (it still has the color so I am guessing that it is okay to eat). Still trying to figure out what to do with it besides the usual (BLT, with eggs, etc.). I am contemplating a bacon and potato soup at this time.
We love baked potatoes wrapped in bacon. Wash potato, wrap with a slice or two of bacon around the middle depending on size of potato. (Sometimes I just use small or medium russet potatoes and a half slice of bacon.) Sprinkle on a bit of garlic salt and wrap in foil. Bake in oven until potato is done. Top with favorite baked potato toppings or cottage cheese. Super yummy! Thinner bacon gets crispier.
My grandparents were hog farmers in Iowa. Pork has always been a part of our lives.
Probably not, but the Arabic in-laws like to go to Dubai and drink. They've also owned homes in London, for decades, where they went to shop at Harrods, go clubbing and tuck into a nice English breakfast.
A man was the reason I became a vegetarian. Bacon is the reason I got rid of -both- of those bad habits
