Veganism is often based on sincerely held ethical beliefs.
The other two on sincerely held religious beliefs.
Why should diet choices derived from religious beliefs be given legal protections but diet choices derived from ethical beliefs not? It makes no sense. It is not consistent nor fair. It is not conducive to weening society away from religion. It is bad law.
Lol......because, religious beliefs are a codified set of tenets, while ethical beliefs are just personal opinions. You think the people in charge want to ween society away from religion? Not sure why you would think that, because it isn't true at all.
Normative ethical frameworks, like negative preference utilitarianism or Kantian deontological system or Thomistic natural law theory, are as codified (probably more so) than some vague collection of holy writings.
Oh, I'm not sure what the powers that be want. That's not the point here.
I'm saying what it is - unfair, inconsistent, doesn't ween society off religion, and is bad law. Agree?
