(39,044 posts)I do 95% of the cooking in our house and, since I'm too lazy to cook separate meals, I mostly eat what my wife eats.
We both eat eggs about once a week and sometimes use them baking. I also cook with cheese once or twice a week.
These days I don't like to have raw meat in my kitchen, freezer, or refrigerator. I will cook it for carnivorous family and friends who expect it. We also have dogs. I don't expect them to be vegetarians either.
I could probably calculate about how many "retired" laying hens our dogs have eaten as kibble, but I'd rather not.
My wife is lactose intolerant so I don't buy milk. When our children were in elementary school I was still buying milk, because that was accepted as a normal thing to do, almost a parental duty, but then I noticed they preferred the soy milk their mom drank, and that was that, I quit buying milk. That was almost twenty years ago. These days I haven't a clue how much a gallon of milk or a pound of ground beef costs because I never buy any.
