Should you still fast for Lent on a Friday and Feast Day?
Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday.
There are two solemnities that can fall during Lent: the Annunciation of the Lord and Saint Joseph's Day. Whenever either of these solemnities falls on a Friday, the faithful are dispensed from the requirement to abstain from meat.

Are you a bad person for eating meat on Good Friday?
If you promised that you wouldn't, and then broke that promise, you could be regarded as a "bad person" for breaking the promise.
(If you're a Roman Catholic, then you're breaking an implicit promise to fast and abstain from meat on Good Friday, since that's part of the teachings of that particular church. If you're Protestant, you may or may not be; consult your religious teacher for guidance.)
If you're not Christian at all, then "Good Friday" is just another Friday and you're no better, or worse, for eating meat on that day than you would be on any other day.
