Mr_Rose:
I love me some fruit leather (as it's called here) but I also have access to Europe's entire back-catalogue of sausages and sausage-like spiced meat products, as well as every kind of ham. Jerky just kind of got squeezed out of the market.
Unless you're willing to go to an Aussie bar and get massively over-priced biltong jerky.

Hanners seems always to push her boundaries when no one is looking. When she does something ostensibly out of character around the other characters, they all call her on it, sometimes sort of accusing her of being inconsistent. Is this just because her getting caught is a cute gag, or are her friends typecasting her, keeping her from growing?

That is quite possibly the biggest positive I've ever heard.

'Tis quite alright, you didn't know. I get annoyed with people misusing the words too. :-P

True, though fruit doesn't really try to emulate beef jerky (I'd be rather worried if it did!). I'm rather fond of apples and apricots myself. Limes too, but you don't really get those in dried form.
I think there's more evidence towards Hanners being an omnivore than a vegetarian. Even discounting the beef jerky, there have been literally(?) no references by her to vegetarianism. I'm not even sure if it's been mentioned at all in the comic other than the lobster hipster and Marten's mom being grossed out by a discussion about eating animal muscle, and those were both VERY early on in the comic, way before Hanners was even introduced.
It does seem like the sort of thing she might do, though. Perhaps she's just never really given it much thought.
Mr_Rose:
She did (try to) eat a burrito that one time, but got put off by a katydid...the only other time's we've seen her consuming anything that I can recall involved (new) alcoholic beverages and hilarious/adorable grimaces.
Maybe she really is a robot/cyborg, powered by an alcohol fuel cell, after all....
