** The door to Apu's secret garden is hidden behind a fridge that supposedly has non-alcoholic beer in it. When Lisa questions what Apu would do if somebody wanted to buy one, he remarks that it's never come up in all the time he's been at the Kwik-E-Mart. This would be almost prophetic, given that [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E18HomerVsTheEighteenthAmendment when alcohol was (temporarily) banned in the following season]], the head of Duff's attempt to keep the business alive with the non-alcoholic Duff Zero ended with it going bankrupt [[EpicFail in just 30 minutes]].

* ValuesDissonance: The episode revolves around Lisa's family trying to dissuade her from being vegetarian while Lisa herself tries dissuading them from eating meat. Being vegetarian is slightly less of a big deal in modern America than it was back in 1995, though her parents' conservative attitude (combined with Homer's [[BigEater insatiable appetite for meat]]) still leave room for the plot to occur.

** In more recent years, there's been more concern over whether a vegetarian lifestyle is healthy for children. In fact, a later episode, [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS24E5PennyWiseguys Penny Wiseguys\\, acknowledges this, where Lisa's eating habits have given her an iron deficiency, causing her to experiment with eating bugs.

** The bit with the increasingly cuter sheep is often used to portray "flavor of the month" situations, where a popular thing is fleetingly replaced by something else in public consciousness.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: While this episode really kicks in Lisa's SoapboxSadie antics, the episode makes clear not to shill her own close-minded attitude, and she ends the episode still standing by her beliefs but knowing she doesn't have to force those down others' throats. This GreyAndGrayMorality outlook is sometimes omitted from later episodes, where Lisa is treated as in the right for being an extremist InsufferableGenius and venting a lot of the writers' [[AuthorTract personal ethics.]]

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The documentary about the food chain which Lisa watches at school briefly depicts a gorilla about to grab some bananas when suddenly a shark jumps from the river and devours the unwary ape. There are certain [[https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2012/08/17/freshwater-sharks-species-of-the-week/ shark species which can thrive in freshwater]], most notably the Bull shark, the Gangers shark, and the speartooth shark.

Ron The Death Eater is a fanfic trope.


* RonTheDeathEater: Lisa's initial extreme vegetarianism is presented as a little girl coming to terms with an unpopular lifestyle, which she needs to learn how to handle more tactfully, and the worst thing she does is ruin Homer's BBQ.. But if you only went by what the episode's critics say (especially those who are already anti-progressive), you'd think Lisa was planning on committing mass genocide of meat eaters.
