Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices?

Often I think too hard about the impact of my decisions (such as whether to eat meat or not) on the environment, on the general amount of suffering in the world, greedy corporate farms, etc., and then my mind boings in the opposite direction, and I think what does any of it matter? Does it really matter that animals die atrociously to bloat overweight fast food eaters, or that 35,000 children starve every day? None of us are getting out of here alive. Maybe the suffering and pain and waste make it all more meaningful.
No offense to Wiccans, of course.
I was going to cut myself after reading that, because the suffering and pain makes my futile life more meaningful, but instead I'm posting a lolcat.

@Zazazu:
That is an Inside Joke.
Zen Buddhists say: There is no Soul, no Buddha, no God.
But you have to know the context to understand this.
I wasn't offended. I just thought it was funny, the exact way you stated that with a direct link to a page about Buddhism. I've heard the "There is no Soul, no Buddha, no God." before. Like I said, I've been to a lot of temples. I've read a couple books by Lama Surya Das (master of the ramble, though there are some gems hidden throughout). I've taken college classes on Buddhism, and I used to do guided meditation at a Shambhala center, though that's more Tibetan Buddhism than Zen. Yay Buddhism. Though I did run into this guy while I was freaking out about having to walk on a sheet of ice one winter who gave me a card for one of those Buddha-as-God-with-a-capital-G sects. So not the original message.

Aww, the bunny is cute and fluffy. Be careful, it's so cute and fluffy, someone might try to eat it. :P

Well, bunnies have been known to chew through electrical cords - suicidal emo rabbits!
