the 2022 attack didn't impact the race because the drivers were assured that the refinery strike wasn't targeting them, or at least some other guarantee of their safety. MBS probably gave some personal promises to that effect too.

If the Houthis even did a symbolic encroachment on the airspace of the Jeddah rather than a refinery nearby, it would be enough to spook at least one or two drivers into refusing. The driver's union (GPDA, which isn't technically a union but works the same way in practice) should be stubborn enough to kill the whole event if a threat was timed right.

There's so many factors. Pesticides, nitrates are prevalent in most meat products, lack of dietary fibre can increase risks of colon cancer and high cholesterol.

Not to mention micro plastics (though they've been around for longer than we've known I bet) and forever chemicals like PFAs (though not sure if they're cancerous??).

And now an existential war of ideologies in the middle east
