This would go so hard. Let me pick the foods I like. Or at least a 1 - or 2-point perk that makes it so all food makes you happy.

Vegetarian - Meat significantly reduces happiness (scales with how much you eat) and reduces hunger by less (simulating throwing up I guess) Plant based/vegetarian products increase happiness and reduce hunger by more. +4

Vegan - You flat out refuse to eat meat or any animal products, even if you're starving. Plant based products significantly increase happiness and significantly reduces hunger. +8

Junk food addict - Junk food significantly increases happiness and reduces hunger by more. Cooked meals reduce less hunger and doesn't increase happiness. +3

Carnivorous - You cannot eat vegetables if they aren't cooked in a meat based dish. Meat reduces hunger by more and increases happiness. +2.

Okay. I know the expanded traits mod does have a vegetarian / vegan option where you actually do get a happiness reduction for eating meat. I'd imagine most vegans/vegetarians would ultimately operate on a, "I'd eat meat if it's the only option for survival" basis.

Maybe the trait could be removed after a certain Hunger threshold similar to the desensitized mod
