    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?

        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.

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