Is This By Design & a Request
I don't play vegetarian sims often, but she will autonomously 'discuss local fishing spots' and has whims to cook franks and beans and other non-veg food. I'm thinking it's an error, but thought I'd...

@sushicrow I'm sure a lot of that can be easily fixed. As Pug said, likely an oversight.
I don't know since I'm not Vegetarian, so excuse me if this is wrong, blame it on ignorance. But can't Vegetarian's fish? They don't have to kill and eat the fish, just release them alive. It's more the action of fishing, right?

@Psychotps I appreciate the way you framed your question. The reason why it feels out of place for me to see a Veggie sim autonomously talk about fishing spots...well I've never met a veggie who did that. I can't speak for all veggies/ vegans. For me it's not just about eating meat, it's the pain of animals (including people btw) - or maybe more specifically, avoidable pain. So, since catch and release causes injury to the fish purely for sport, it would not be something I, as a result veggies in my sim world, would talk about.
There are more reasons other veggies may have, but that's mine. I thought it was good to answer this, as I'd really like to see the change happen in my game and I'm hoping that explaining why may help, thanks for asking. If you're interested in more reasons, I encourage going to some veggie and vegan forums and reading more, I don't want this to accidentally turn into some wild, raging ,weird thread or soemthing as oposed to a fix request 🙂
@PugLove888 I know what you mean about when restaurant food is packaged like that. I loses it's zest. I used to watch cooking channels a long time ago, somtimes I'll watch vids online, but I mostly like cookbooks, even though I end up completely changing anything I see as promising 🙂 This may seem weird, but my favorite cookbooks are not veggie or vegan. IMO, most cookbooks in general are not very good. I just convert ideas/ recipes, not a big deal since I can't seem to stay recipe faithful anyway!. My favorite way to cook is the "what's in my house" method. It's fun and I've come up with new recipes that way.
I always get nervous when someone says to me "oh, you have to try [my/ my family] [insert alleged food here]", it's never been good. I've meet way too many folks that think they have some kind of natural cook trait (excuse TS3 reference) and make poor quality meals! I'm hungry, off to make creamy spinach tofu soup now. I don't care what they say. Soup may be simple, but truly great soup is hard to find! You must try my soup, it'd to die for! lol 🙂
You know, while we've been talking about the vegetarian trait here, the same thing does happen with others. By that, I mean, that there are a lot of things that happen in the game that don't seem to match what the trait is for. It's like the traits aren't getting considered at all for a lot of the socials and autonomous actions. And on the other hand, the OCD behavior that some of my sims display, don't match up to any of their traits. So I really wonder at times if they mean anything at all.
- @CGrant56 Yea, a lot of the tuning files seem to be pretty haphazardly written. Not very uniform at all in their options.
Most plants have more harvestables outdoors, some indoors, some are the same either way. Same thing with weeds. Some plants aren't effected by weeds at all. Some aren't effected by seasons, like they were overlooked when seasons came out.
Some foods aren't governed by the "Fresh Chef" trait. None of the Island Living foods are.
Most foods have calories that effect weight, some don't.
I think a lot of the Tuning files in the game need a good evaluation.
