I feel bad that I like the taste of the 4th of July hamburger and the jumbo hotdog With mustard and relish
Or the medium rare steak with the yummy Louisiana barbecue sauce and the crisp slow-cooked North Carolina baby-back ribs
And the yummy lobster rolls of cape cod and the Boston chowder clam and calamari and the caper and smoked salmon bagel with the Philadelphia cream cheese
Those Philly cheese steaks , the Wisconsin cheddar and the beef strogonaff ….
Texas ribeye steak with sweet potato heated in Carmel and roasted marshmallows
Maryland carb cakes with tartar sauce. Alaska king crab …. Chinese Mongolian beef
Must be hell living your life around basing your choices on what others might think of you.
Suggestion: give them the middle finger and eat what you like. If that is veggies, fine. If it is meats, fine. If it's a diet of Ramen noodles three times a day, fine. Your choice, not theirs.

Agreed. OP, you do you. Screw what anyone else might be thinking and don't allow them to have outposts in your head. It's your life. I literally had a hamburger for breakfast today.
Feeling guilty for not being Vegan/vegetarian do you feel bad?
Absolutely not.
I actually scratch my head at everyone who eats fake meat. Being a vegetarian with veggies only - that I get. Fake meat... why?
Why? As a vegetarian/vegan I can tell you why. I did not stop eating meat because I did not like the taste of it. I stopped because I love animals and realized that I could not love animals AND support factory farming. So I stopped eating anything that used to be alive. But having said that, it's nice once in a while to have a "burger", even if it's fake. It allows many more people to become vegetarian/vegan which I believe is a good thing.
I do not preach about what others eat. And outside of factory farming (small farm operations), where animals are killed humanely, I don't really have a problem with eating them.

You're joking, right?
I once heard an anthropologist say that medium-to-large creatures that evolved over the last few million years to eat plants, have their two eyes on opposite sides of their heads, able to look more easily to the sides as well as looking straight ahead, for defensive purposes. They can more easily see the larger view all around them without turning their head, so they can see whoever is coming after them. Think of horses, sheep, etc.
Creatures that evolved to eat meat, have their two eyes on the front of their heads, for a better view of whoever they are attacking and killing. And they don't so much care who is coming from the sides since most other creatures know better than to try it. Think of dogs, cats (large and small), apes etc.
Creatures evolved to eat plants, also have much bigger and thicker teeth, necessary since eating plants (especially without hands) involved scooping up small amounts of dirt with each bite, which is abrasive and can wear the teeth much more quickly, so plant-eaters with large teeth tended to live longer. Where animals evolved to eat meat, have smaller, sharper teeth (closer to fangs), suitable for gripping other animals, tearing off pieces etc.
Since you brought up the subject.... which are you?
Seeing the reality of industrial farms, I prefer more ethically raised livestock from the local butcher. Is that a form of guilt? Maybe, but the quality is also much better.
Not after seeing this.... beware not for the squeamish. I do prefer buying beef and eggs from local farmers these days over industrial operations though, but I understand the necessity of these operations for bringing inexpensive meat to the masses. They are also more green (carbon footprint, land use) than if we tried to do it all locally with small farms, even though you wouldn't think so.
