So I noticed my ascetic pawn kept grabbing and eating raw food (rice and potatoes) instead of meals. I figured it was just the usual bug, but then I noticed he was not getting a mood debuff (which he should, because it was rice and potatoes, not corn or berries).
Is this intentional? The trait description does not mention this, and I don't recall it working that way before. Or any mention of it in patch notes. It kind of makes sense, but it also wastes food...
It makes sense for it to work this way. Interesting. Otherwise the trait is pointless and too easy to satisfy, unless the ascetic shares bed with another person.
It's not only the ascetic one. All pawns seem to just grab the closest food now, even if raw. Must be fixed.

That's the interesting part right here. Ascetics seem to treat raw food as a simple meal (no nood effect) which is news to me.
Found this is the changelog:
"Food scoring algorithm heavily reworked. It now avoids foods that will cause negative thoughts and prefer foods that will cause positive thoughts. Ascetics now don’t have thoughts in response to food quality."
It also explains why some of my other pawns were skipping simple meals and eating berries. My simple meals were cooked with insect meat, which was giving a negative moodlet. So the little buggers actually had something right!
