US Egg Consumption per Person vs Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+)
US Egg Consumption per Person and Worldwide Strong Earthquakes (M6+) correlate at r = -0.42 over 63 years (1961–2023), p = 5.7e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.23. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 5.7e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.23). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
