Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices?
Silverdrake:
Ah, so I can harrass my friend's self sim and vice versa! Fun, fun! He hates art, too. I have no idea why we're friends - perhaps we have too good a time
mocking each other.
And nectarines are smooth as a baby's butt, tyvm. Pears have those icky gritty things though *shivers*
Madame Mim:
Disliking Nectarines has probably got somethign to do with where they get them from. I dislike apples. I will not buy apples. Ditto for banana's. My great uncle was an apple farmer so I know how they should taste. I grew up in the tropics so I know how they should taste.
As for meat I'm also not all that fond of fat, but you can't blame sausages fattyness on meat. I defy anyone to find identifyable meat in the generic sausage. It's all filler and lard.

Here in Kiwiland, we mostly eat kiwifruit* by slicing them in half and scooping the fruit out with a spoon. Skins are not eaten, in fact I've never heard of that before. But then we have so many that you can't even give the bloody things away at the height of the season.
When I was a child, kiwifruit were still called Chinese Gooseberries, so I guess we stole them from somewhere else originally. The marketing geniuses have now decided to call kiwifruit 'Zespri', only no-one in the world knows what the hell they're talking about.
Personally I find kiwifruit too sour to eat, even the gold variety is a little bit sour.
*kiwifruit is what they are called in New Zealand, it's only the rest of the world that calls them 'kiwis'. This is offensive to us as native 'Kiwis'. :P

Actually, it makes sense vegetarianism could make people live longer, if only for the fact that malnourishment in general seems to extend lifespan. We know that underfeeding can increase the lifespan of almost all species, all the way down to single-cell yeast. And just decreasing the availability of essential amino acids like L-tryptophan from the diet of rats can double their lifespan.
Don't look at me... I've been strictly low-carbing for ten straight years. Lotsa red meat.

...but do you really think EA sat in a room and said, "So I'm thinking that due to the amino acids sims with the vegetarian trait should live longer. And ghosts! Wooooo!"
