Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices?

... but the whole ethics thing doesn't appeal to me because I see no ethics when it comes to mistreating food.
Then I declare you food, tasty braincarrier. Your screaming and flailing and begging for mercy might be a little distressing, but... t's too much trouble to knock you out beforehand, anyway, so who cares?
Now c'mere. I'm hungry.

Addressing the original question: My veggie-Sim passed on last night at the age of 111. She was also athletic, and would work out to the TV or stereo constantly -- I couldn't keep the woman still! However, I've had Sims live to 125, 109, and 106 without being vegetarian or athletic. Seems to me veggie-Sims get the same 14% chance of croaking every day beyond 90 that any other Sim does, but it's purelly anecdotal.

You don't think something that's going to be giving up it's life so that you can fill your belly deserves to be treated with respect? I'm not saying don't eat em I'm saying they deserve respect. Unlike apples they do feel pain.

I thought I was a relatively picky eater, but this thread has made me realize that I'm really not anymore. I eat meat, I eat tofu (even plain and raw), fish is delicious, peaches are awesome... My lack of variety in diet is almost entirely based on laziness rather than pickyness. I can't say I've ever tried a kiwi with the skin, but I think I will, assuming I don't forget between now and the next time I have a kiwi.

I'm one of those strange people who like plain tofu. I didn't like it when I first became a vegetarian, but it's either gotten less rubbery over the years, or my tastes have changed. I've read that it takes eight weeks for your taste buds to adjust to a new diet (I haven't been able to go eight weeks without chocolate though!). I also hated eggplant, mushrooms and tomatoes when I was a kid, and I love them now. I think my mom cooked the hell out things, too. I just remember meat being hard to chew and full of gristly bits. I like seitan a lot, because of the texture. I don't buy the hamburger flavored veggie burgers, because I don't like the taste. I usually stick with something like black bean and garlic.
I should probably go completely vegan, seeing as three of my four grandparents died of heart disease. I bought a cookbook called Vegan Fire and Spice that has mouthwatering recipes, if anyone's interested.
