On the other hand, a policy of "you can expense vegetarian meals, but only vegetarian meals" is forcing you to be vegetarian at a much higher and more obnoxious level than that.

Employees are not being forced to become vegetarians, they can still eat fish, dairy and eggs and expense their meals.

They can even choose to go outside and eat meat, they have freedom of choice.

But dairy and eggs are part of a normal vegetarian diet. You worded it as if they are not.

They are being forced if they don't want to or cannot afford to buy meat.

Pushing. Not forcing.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that most jobs that come with expense accounts also happen to come with a decent amount of, what do you call it, income. I sort of doubt that this sort of policy is headed to the per diem world.
