I suppose you are Western Rite Orthodox. Eastern Orthodox Great Lent began
yesterday (Clean Monday) and we (meaning those in the faith I grew up in)
do not observe Fat Tuesday or Ash Wednesday, but instead, some have a feast
on Sunday.
Old habits die hard, so I will stop eating meat and dairy. My doctor and
cholesterol levels are happy!

Please forgive me, but I don't think anyone ever, anywhere, has
claimed that it is the same experience. Also, I think you are being not
only presumptuous, but projecting your own feelings on others and being
unnecessarily judgmental. It is not fake, by any means, to gain
sympathy and strive toward solidarity with the hungry through fasting.
Perhaps it is for you. Regardless, though that is a part of the fast,
it is not its primary purpose. It is, instead, to follow the pattern
and model set by our Lord. It is to discipline ourselves not to satisfy
or indulge our own appetites, as well. It is a physical discipline
which trains us for spiritual discipline.
Perhaps I was reacting to your ignorant sanctimony.

I didn't know anything about the source except that he was
sanctimonious and judgmental, and had little knowledge about what the
doctrines of Christian fasting were. After all, it's only about making
some Christians _feel_ more pious, sacrificial or close to Christ's
mission. It has nothing to do with obedience, true sacrifice, spiritual
discipline, penitence, prayer, or actually following Christ's mission to
serve the poor. It's just a show. And really, Jesus was only telling
people to fast because it was a cultural custom. Obviously with no
meaning. Certainly not commanded by God. Sheesh.

We are western, though not Orthodox. Not to get too much into
religion here, but our church is a kind of middle ground between east
and west - though our calendar is often closer to the western calendar,
we tend to observe the fasts and feasts more like the east (without
getting into any theology.

The OP is all about a religious food tradition. Not everyone observes
these holidays so if you bring up the subject you ought to be prepared to
explain it further to the uninitiated.

I understand that. However, since this is a food group, I thought
I'd stick mostly with the food.

I thought that while he was alive he managed to keep his followers from
fasting but he understood that once he was gone he would no longer be
able to stop them. Sounds to me like it was a topic he wanted to
prepare folks for but not one so important as to make rules about it.
So later generations made up rules about it because that's what happens
in organized reading.
That's how I understood it when I read the New Testament as a member of
another religion learning comparative religion. I don't know how much I
missed doing it that way.
The holiday ties in with the agricultural year. A time to celebrate
that your family supplies lasted the winter and no one starved to death
this year. A time to rest before it was time to plant the new crops.
What I don't get is calling a meat-free diet a fast. It triggers a
language barrier inside my head like calling flesh cut from the bones of
an animal that happens to be a fish not meat.
