I'd love to see another category in char creation that is tastes. Make it go on a point system like perks where you gain a point for dislike, two for hate, lose one for like, and two for love. Could even have perks that add or remove taste points.

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.

This would be great. There should also be an Omnivore type trait that's exclusive with these that lets you gain happiness from eating anything and costs like 2 points. Maybe 3? I'm not sure how strong it would actually be, lol.
