No this will not deter them from eating anything. Beak trimming is done with many chickens and unless specified not to, it is done when orders are placed for birds from hatcheries. As long as they have half the normal length of beak they should do fine.
The reason it is done is it helps prevent feather pecking and cannibalism in small enclosures.
