Today my boss announced a new policy. No one is to bring non-vegan food products into the building. We are a nonprofit and I am 1 of only 2 paid employees. The other is already a vegan. Anyone who disagrees with the policy can quit or email them directly for a lecture on the cruelty of eating animal products.
I get that they have personal ethics, but is it not discrimination to make people feel ashamed of their nutritional choices? I disagree that all animal husbandry is inhumane and agriculture benign. Know your farmer. Know your facts. Crop growing, even organic produce grown locally with good soil practices can be highly lethal to wildlife, pollute water, be a source of methane gas, lead to land conversion and interruption of habitat, migration, feeding, and reproductive behaviors.
The thing it's not about my beliefs. I need to know the legality before I go telling volunteers they have to sit out in the freezing cold or run their cars to eat a snack. I'd rather ban all outside food than do this.
If it is not legal how do I tell my bosses this is a step too far?

for them to say you can't eat a burger, but you can't say it's ok for you to eat that burger.
