Both my parents were farmers. They ate bacon and egg for breakfast, meat in their mid-day meal and often meat at dinner. They both died prematurely from lower bowel cancer, that has not been mentioned here.
Red meat – such as beef, lamb and pork – is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals, and can form part of a balanced diet. But eating a lot of red and processed meat increases your risk of bowel (colorectal) cancer.

That's why it's recommended that people who eat more than 90g (cooked weight) of red and processed meat a day cut down to 70g or less. This could help reduce your risk of bowel cancer.
