Heh, "no breakfast warning". I like that.

While I understand that your wife was just kidding, I am always
amazed when people exclaim "you can't eat that for [insert meal
here]!". A hot dog on a bun is no different than bacon or sausages
with toast -- both meals consist of fats, protein, and carbs, no
matter how or when they're served.

Now, whether or not either meal would be good for you is another
story; it depends on one's definition of "healthy"...
