Does the Vegetarian Trait affect anything besides food choices?

Your boyfriend was scared of a deer? A deer? Really? That's like being scared of a fluffy little bunny. Deer are not that smart, and not at all violent.
We have problems in a nearby forest/park every spring. People like to jog in there, but during mating season, the stags get bloody aggressive, and chase people around. Some people even got attacked and got hurt pretty badly. Don't fuck around with anything that has antlers!
At a college I considered going to, part of the tour was to warn us to be very, very scared of deer. Somebody gets attacked about every year, and that year someone had gotten killed. It's mostly people who saw Bambi and want to pet the baby; they'd never seen a deer in the wild before. (A lot of people from countries without the things go to that college.) The guy who died was trampled by a doe, so you should be scared of anything that has antlers or babies.
I'm also a vegetarian because I'm opposed to fake meats.
Zazazu:
Okay, I'll give you horny stags. I didn't even think of those. Where I grew up, for the longest time the majority of the neighborhood was undeveloped and there was a huge corn field buffer in between the developed portion and true woodland. We had deer in the yard all the time. The females and fauns will let you get within a few feet of them. But stags I think I've only seen in the distance. I'm good with animals, and tend to monopolize all the creatures at petting zoos (my one best friend has a picture of me at her house with two deer, three goats, and a bunny crowding my lap at the wild animal park in San Diego), and have actually touched a rhino before and lived to talk about it, but horny creatures with horns are not good cuddlers.

I used to really like deer. I cried at Bambi, etc. But they've taken over my neighborhood! They're like an evil little gang that decimates my garden and even chased my partner when he was out walking the dog. In the absence of cougars and wolves, it'd be a blessing if someone would come and eat them.
Deer never chase me. They seem to instinctively recognize me as a predator and run away. Damn right, I say. If one of them comes at me, it's going to be nomfodder.
Silverdrake:
Well, this was five deer, and of course, the dog had to stop in the middle of it all and take a crap, too. I should get more insurance on my partner.

Funny thing. I eat meat therefore I get plenty of protein, potassium, and a lot of amino acids that aren't in any other food source. When I shop for groceries I'm not looking for food substitutes I'm buying food (whether it be meat, fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, etc.). I rarely see a vegan or vegetarian NOT look for a meat substitute while shopping. I see products like tofu being advertised for their meat-like qualities and all kinds of weird things like that. (I have tried tofu and that stuff is darned disgusting.) If a particular style of eating is good for a person, why do they need to be looking for substitutes for the foods they don't eat? I don't eat much in the line of grains and I don't bother looking for grain substitutes. I don't eat processed sugar, and I also don't use sugar substitutes.
Re: comment on peaches and nectarines. Peel the peaches or eat nectarines! Nectarines are completely smooth skinned.
