Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices?
phyllis_p:
Regarding Sim vegetarians, mine just hit 90, so I'll let y'all know if she seems to live longer than my non-veggies (eldest was 126 at death). One thing that it does add is the ability of Sims to have a mean interaction deriding them for their vegetarianism. This one's ex-husband used to autonomously bring it up when he had the wish to break up with her.

:D Can vegetarians harass non-vegetarians for their meat eating ways?
I used to have a friend (my college roommate) who called herself a vegetarian, but actually ate fish & poultry. We were at a BBQ where she would hassle the beef burger eaters while she was herself eating turkey burgers. ::)

Well, dying from anemia and malnourishment isn't in the game. Sims have either eaten or not eaten, and it doesn't appear to matter whether they ate actual food, or a cardboard box. And yes, vegetarians get "sickened by meat" if they eat meat. As for longer lifespans...meh. I don't really buy that argument. You don't see terribly many vegetarians living to be over 100. Those ranks are occupied by the carnivores. Plus, no support groups.

Thank you, you just found my new desktop background. Win!

Well, some vegetarians aren't vegetarians because they want to save animals. Like myself. I just hate the taste of meat and the texture of the fat globules and strings. I still like the flavor. I can't process the real stuff well, anymore, as I found out when I tried some pepperoni on a lark.
Strangely, I'm a lot like this. Most of the things I don't like are because of texture, leaving taste a moot point. What amused me was that you used the term "fat globules", which is the exact reason I give when people ask why I decline things like sausage. Chicken wings, legs, and thighs are nasty because of the veins and slime. Though I'm not a vegetarian because I also dislike most vegetables. They're usually cooked and that means mushy to some degree or another. Fruit is another food group rife with texture troubles. What's up with peaches? It's like chewing a felt ball or biting into a baby head.
Hmm...it's a wonder I haven't starved to death by now.

Mmmmmm Veins and globules.
