Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices?

I do, however, get very tired of those (most likely not here, just in other places I see) talking about meat substitutes and the like. I can't help but think if a person isn't going to eat meat, why do they want a meat substitute? :D
If you've read this thread, you've seen people say they eat things like tofu, seitan or veggie burgers because they like them. Some people who eat meat also eat these 'meat substitutes' because they like them. Get it now? I don't get why you should be 'very tired' of people talking about what they eat, for whatever reason. If you are tired of the conversation around you, go talk to someone else. I'm kind of tired of hearing other people's opinions of what I eat, especially since I'm not trying to get you to eat what I'm eating. Again, why do you care?

Morningstar Farms corn dogs. Seriously, people. Try them. I didn't even like corn dogs when I ate meat 14 years ago. I also love the Morningstar Farms fake bacon, and used to adore Boca's sausage links, but then they changed the formula and renamed them breakfast links. They are no longer good.

Morningstar fudz is yummy, and so is tofu if you cook it right. No, I'm not a vegetarian. I just like variety.

The Wikka - read and learn.
By the way, wikka headlines are way out of date.
So fix them. It's a Wikka. The entire point of a Wikka is that it's the manual everyone can write because I can't be bothered to write manuals because I AM WORKING.

I had tofu a couple times in Okinawa without knowing what it was. all I can remember was that it was "a little gummy, kinda funny, and pink" it wasn't until years later that I realized what I'd been eating was tofu. I think I finally figured it out when we ordered some pad thai from this pace near my old job in Virginia. It had little strips of stuff with the same texture as the pink stuff from Okinawa but it was brown instead of pink. One of my coworkers informed me it was tofu.
As for the whole vegetarian thing, I like meat. I probably don't have the stomach to actually kill my food, but I did learn how to kill a chicken while i was in the Marines Corps. Doesn't seem all that bad. Someone once showed me this video about how animals are mistreated in industrial farms and I said "Yeah, so? they're food. Mistreating a cow or pig or chicken that you're going to eat is equivalent to mistreating an apple that you are going to eat." The only reason I would ever become a vegetarian is if I somehow lost the taste for meat. There are certain meats I don't like.. mostly fish because of the texture, but the whole ethics thing doesn't appeal to me because I see no ethics when it comes to mistreating food.
