Unfortunately in at will employment states in the USA, a company could fire you for most of those things if they wanted to and it would be within their rights to do so. As long as they are not discriminating against a protected class they can fire you for almost anything.

I would like to see them try to make that stick in court with an example like, we don't allow our employees to eat chicken or they are fired.
