[QUOTE="fpl, post: 1953262, member: 490954"] My principle is that people's claims/requests/opinions are OK as long as they do not affect the freedom of others, whether or not these claims etc. are based upon religion, faith, moral convictions or anything else. That somebody would like to have plant-based food or believes that plant-based food is morally superior has no impact whatsoever on choices of other citizens, so I don't see this as a threat or problem. Whether the request is granted may of course be a matter of politics, priorities, finance etc. I have to admit that I was a vegetarian (not vegan) for ten years, and then started to eat meat again. Last year (2017) I decided to stop eating beef and pork for moral reasons: I did not want to be associated with the continued abuse of animals in slaughterhouses (there were several scandals here in Belgium). I continues to eat chicken and fish. When I was diagnosed with T2 in August of last year, I started to follow a ketogenic diet and began to eat pork and beef again, for personal health reasons. With pain in my heart. [/QUOTE]
