Processed meats like bacon, sausage, ham, and others might taste good, but that's mostly due to the salts and processing techniques they use. (Well, those of meat eaters, anyway.) Processed meats are high in saturated fats, which are highly caloric. Consuming such foods can lead to health problems, including weight gain. The high salt content of these types of meat adds to the problem. Salty foods can, at best, make us thirsty and dehydrated. Additionally, processed meats have been linked to stomach and intestinal problems later in life. On the plus side, bacon and sausages provide protein, which keeps us full and sustains us throughout the day. For a more energizing breakfast, Healthier and lower in fat, try poached, hard-boiled or scrambled eggs on whole-grain toast, which are rich in animal protein.
