A perfect example of the correlation-causation fallacy that haunts statistics departments everywhere! The meme brilliantly skewers how meaningless correlations get weaponized as scary "facts." Sure, 99% of criminals have eaten bread, but so has 99% of literally everyone else on the planet with access to wheat. Next they'll tell us that 100% of serial killers have consumed dihydrogen monoxide (that's water for you non-chemistry nerds). This is exactly why my statistics professor would scream "CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION" while throwing chalk at sleeping students.
