Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices?

Why the hating on nectarines?

Fruit should not be hairy.
I have never encountered a hairy nectarine.

The nectarine is a cultivar group of peach that has a smooth, fuzzless skin.

*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
Nope, here is Aus we usually say the whole thing - well I do anyway. I remember when they were called Chinese Gooseberries too.

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 ;).
Sis? Is that you?

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!
Yup, I get the same thing. Then, if it's an event with food involved, people become preoccupied almost to the point of obsession with finding things I can eat, and pointing them out for me. It's fascinating, and sometimes irritating, though I appreciate the concern involved.
I think even if there isn't an undiscovered effect from this trait, it's cool to have it just as another way to make Sim individuals different. I like the interactions related to it.

Well, hell, you're practically neighbours, just over the ditch an' all.

I think the interactions added regarding the vegetarian Sims are pretty funny.

That is so spot on. I rarely even tell people I'm a vegetarian because of the reaction I get. I've never preached my lifestyle to anyone, but I've gotten a lot of preaching from meat eaters. I've had people whose only daily vegetable intake was the condiments on their McDonald's burger tell me my diet wasn't balanced enough.
