“All the food organised by the League for staff meetings (such as the office’s Christmas dinner) was vegan ...

“But when Philippa King (who I know was a meat eater) became the interim CEO due to Eduardo’s absence . . . things started to change, and animal products started to be added in the office meals. The problem continued when Andy (also a meat eater) replaced her and became the acting CEO.”


First, everyone had to eat vegan foods for his "rights" to be upheld? He couldn't simply eat vegan fare and let others eat meat?

Second, the bold in the quotation is mine. To people like the plaintiff, being called "vegan" is a high honor. Vegans are to be praised. But "meat eater" takes on a whole new connotation in his eyes. "Meat eaters" = Evil.

This says it all:

Quote:
Patrick Keith, representing the League at the employment tribunal in Watford, suggested that, although Mr Casamitjana did not like being judged for being a vegan, he was judging others by describing them as meat-eaters.


It's OK for vegans to judge meat-eaters, but it's not OK for meat-eaters to judge vegans.

Sounds about right. Not.
