Chicken, pork, beef. Duck is common in Asian cuisines. Turkey is common in Western cuisines. Lamb is super common in many cuisines and my personal favorite meat. Bison burgers are popular in many places (dad loves them and so does my work cafeteria). There are dozens of varieties of seafood - but to be generous let's say it's just three groups: shells, scales, crustaceans. That's already 10 types of 'meat' that people eat semi-regularly, not including the different aspects/preparation of those selections. Hardly a lack of options!
I know all these options are out there, but I find it hard to believe the average person is eating 10+ different animals in a week.
Sure. But if someone isn't eating a varied diet, becoming vegan or vegetarian isn't going to fix that.
It could actually help, inadvertently. When I became vegan I could no longer fall back on my old comfort meals without modifying them. Limitations breed creativity.
But isn't OP saying that meat options are limited? OP clearly isn't impressed with the creativity that bread.
