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 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.

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.

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