Maybe it was his reaction to the Great Depression and World War II.

My wife's grandpa ate that every day too, same reason probably, and he was having heart problems in his fifties. He passed away before his classical three score and ten.

Luck-of-the-draw if you get a physiology that can cope with cured meats and greasy eggs.

My brother still uses my grandma's big iron frying pan and and he cooks bacon or sausage and eggs in it, but not every day.
