I do most of the cooking and eat what she eats. I guess that makes me mostly vegetarian.

My wife does eat eggs, mostly sourced from a coworker's small farm where the chickens roam freely about.

The only meat we're likely to have in our house is dog kibble. I don't expect the dogs to be vegetarians. Their food is probably made from factory farm chickens. Sigh.

Sometimes I'll buy meat when carnivorous friends and family are visiting.

Personally, I find modern vegetarian meat substitutes such as the Impossible or Beyond brands acceptable. There are even some good imitations of fish. The only meats I ever have a craving for are the more strongly flavored fish like mackerel.

Most of the animal protein I ate as a kid was fish my dad caught. When me and my siblings got older he took us fishing too. When I was a kid the home freezer always had fish in it.

I suspect lab grown meats have missed their window of opportunity. It's a lot easier to make "meat" out of peas and other vegetable proteins and fats than it is to grow actual animal cells in a vat.
