* '''Downplayed''': [[HollywoodPudgy Alice]] is a vegetarian, but only because going meatless is the [[{{Hipster}} trendy]] "it" diet this week. Next week, it'll be paleo, and the week after that she'll be on the grapefruit diet. As for dealing with those who disagree with her dietary viewpoints, she only gets on their case when they're particularly nasty about it.

** Alice is not fully committed to vegetarianism but still goes meatless as often as possible, though she often brings up the issue when having a meal with friends.



** Alice's issue is with industrial agriculture, and considers growing (and killing) her own food as more ethical as she controls its production.



** Arguments on how her lifestyle is impossible to implement on large scale flies right over her head.



* '''Played For Laughs''': Whenever Alice brings up vegetarianism, she never gets her point across as she is always subject to some sort of meat-based slapstick or her friends keep exaggerating her views to the point of parody.
* '''Played For Drama''': Alice's proselytization begins putting a strain on her relationships, and then nutrient deficiencies and other health problems begin cropping up.
