The ban on religon-based meals wasn't explained. Does that mean kosher and halal foods can't be offered by cafeterias? Fish can't be served on Fridays?

Pretty much. I'm all for secularism but this goes a bit too far.

Yeah food is food, it doesn't plot, or have an agenda.

Way too far. I also support secularism in that I don't believe that religions should be privileged above deeply held personal preferences. This is like religious persecution.

The article says

The bill also seeks to ban public institutions from offering a diet exclusively based on a religious tradition

I mean I would expect that no meals are based exclusively on a religious tradition, usually it's based on a combination of religious tradition and culinary art, or nutritional requirement.

Yeah. kinda subject to interpretation. It'll be interesting to see if any case get to court.

[–] fancy-straw-simple@piefed.ca 7 points 1 week ago

All of this is too far.

This goes kinda too far? But you can get around the meals constraint just by being vegetarian.
