The Jews that choose to keep Kosher cannot eat bacon because it comes from pork (pig), and that is one dietary restriction of keeping Kosher

Why do Jews hate ham?

Jews don't "hate" ham. Rather, pigs are one of the species of animals that the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) deems not kosher for eating by the laws of Judaism. Many Jews say that it is requisite for a Jew, in order to properly fulfill the commandments, to theoretically approve of the taste or idea of ham, but to refuse to eat it in order to follow the Divine Mandate. In this way, the only reason you are avoiding it is for God and not personal reasons.
