The moment I can swap to lab based meat, I will. I care about the suffering caused by my diet, but I don't have the mental capacity to change it right now. I have no idea what proportion of the meat eating population is like me, but it might be more than you expect.
You can go ahead and call me a terrible person, I don't care, I've given up self hatred for lent. Just trying to do the best I can.
If you're in the right space for some advice on going veggie, I found it surprisingly easy. Just think about what meals you eat that don't have meat in them or where they are optional. Spaghetti? Extra peppers and mushrooms instead of ground beef. Tacos? Beans instead of pork. Burgers? Black bean and corn burgers are legit better than the impossible burgers, no lie (they're in the frozen section). Literally just think of like three things you like that have no meat in them (yes, donuts and pizza count) and just try making those for a week. Add on more stuff as you think of it. I went from pork chops for dinner every day to fully vegetarian in a couple weeks. I couldn't believe it.
I might give it a go sometime and see if I can slowly try to ramp it up. I don't cook a ton and when I do it basically has to be one of the things that's familiar to me to make because if I try to plan to make something new it'll never end up happening
