Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices?

Mmmmmm Veins and globules.
As disgusting as the concept is, that comment cracked me up.

Why the hating on nectarines?

Fruit should not be hairy.

You peel kiwis? I just eat the whole thing skin and all. It's really no different than the skin of an apple.
I can't say I've ever come across an apple with straw-like hair growing out of its skin. Something like that would just prove the evilness of hairy fruits, as it would mean they're trying to breed out the smooth-skins. It could be the first step in a dastardly plan to amass an army of hairy fruit to take over the produce aisle. Next step: world domination! It could happen...

Vegetarians tend to live longer because they tend to have a diet with more fruit, veggies, whole grains, and less fat. They are also generally slimmer than carnivores, for the same reasons.
The problem wouldn't be eating protein, but red meat eaten in large quantities, trans fats ect.
My sister doesn't eat meat or fish, but doesn't like veggies at all, she basically survives on pasta and candy, which I doubt will make her live longer ;).
I'm also someone who doesn't eat meat mainly because I never liked the taste of it, and as another poster said, am also not a fan of industrial farming to say the least.
I think the interactions added regarding the vegetarian Sims are pretty funny. People always like to stereotype vegetarians as annoying preachers whereas my experience is that most people immediately question me and want me to justify why I do not eat meat, as if I am attacking them by choosing to live differently!
I only had one vegetarian Sim and she did live a very long life. She also got a "nauseous" moodlet for hours after she ate a meat sandwich.

:D You better hope the Mrs. never kicks you out...that certainly isn't going to win you any dates.
I don't care to win dates, and it's my place. Besides, we don't do "kicking people out". Females kill and eat the males. I will not be "kicked out", I will be killed and eaten.

Nonsense. Carnivores are slimmer, easily. How exactly is a fruit or vegetable going to flee from you? Whereas a fat carnivore is going to be a hungry carnivore, because he lacks the agility needed to pursue his prey. Haven't you noticed how the largest animals are either herbivorous, or have essentially herbivorous eating habits (Technically, krill is an animal, but it's not very animate).

That works in theory, but in modern Western countries, at least, most people do not hunt their meat. Sims can fish, but it doesn't exactly require them to be physically fit, either, when they can take a taxi to the nearest puddle and then stand still for hours while fishing. And when steaks grow in trees, they don't need to run after them, either.
Not that vegetarians are necessarily slim, either, sims or otherwise.

Sure, but at that point you're not really eating MEAT anymore, you're eating "processed meat food product", which is to meat what "processed cheese food product" is to cheese.
