"No meat" expenses policy
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51529207
I'm often out of the office so claim meals back on expenses. I really wouldn't be happy if my employer enforced this.

Re: "No meat" expenses policy
I would challenge that was against my human rights and take them to court.
Also on health grounds, I have allergies to fruit, nuts and seeds, celery plus other foods.
I suggest I would be hard pressed to find enough to eat to keep me alive.

Re: "No meat" expenses policy
Discriminatory and most likely against the law.
The sentiment is probably well meant, but is likely to land them in a lot of bother.

With all the travelling outside the office I would think eating lettuce instead of meat, won’t be enough to offset their carbon footprint

Re: "No meat" expenses policy
First, this is another example of bullying people into something they don't want, and is, as some have said, probably challengable in law (although the payment of expenses is not a legal right I suppose). Secondly, if I am reading this right they are a property developer, so do they carefully look at where they are building. Thirdly, I have questioned for years this idea that vegetarians are somehow saving the planet's environment. My wife was a veggie for nearly 20 years before she got bored with it and we had some interesting conversations. My main point was how does it help the environment when you can actually 'grow' animals in places you can't grow crops, such as on the tops of hills or mountains, or even in water. I have even wondered if it would be logistically possible for the whole world to be veggie due to the need for vast areas of agricultural land, do we have enough of it, and what of countries where such land is at a premium?
The whole concept of vegetariansim somehow saving the planet doesn't seem to work for me. I could of course be totally wrong and maybe I could be convinced otherwise, I don't have a closed mind on this, but there are simply too many things that get in the way. What do we do with all the meat related industries employing millions of people worldwide? How do we feed all the people who are not in a position to grow crops in vast quantities? What of the people in the fishing industry and the communities that rely on that industry? Until someone asks those questions and actually comes up with some definite answers we should stop trying to bully ordinary people into some kind of procrustean bed of conformity.

The employees can eat want they want as long as they're paying for it.
Re: "No meat" expenses policy
Try reading the article, the bit where it says:
"Development surveyor Kate Marfleet, 28, is head of the firm's values team and persuaded staff to go vegetarian last year, to reduce its environmental impact. The idea was put to an internal vote and passed, with a few dissenters."
It was a democratic vote and the majority were in favour.
Meat eaters lost, get over it.

Re: "No meat" expenses policy
Some people have special dietary requirements, a sweeping policy of this nature would I believe be deemed illegal if challenged.
I agree people could pay for meals out of their own pocket.
If any company wants me to travel and They think it’s ok that I will spend more than when I am at home. Then at home I will stay.

For me it comes under positive discrimination.
So if they put a vote “ Only black people can be employed by the company” if that was voted in, is that acceptable??

I'm a meat eater, but I still say it's up to the company with regards to what it wants to pay for and what it doesn't. The best thing about this storm in a teacup is that it has got the right people frothing.

Re: "No meat" expenses policy
My point is that they needn't have put it to a vote at all, putting people under the pressure of having to vote is the first wrong step. Your post itself says 'a few dissenters', how many? Don't you know? 2 or 3, 40%? How many? People in a job should not have lifestyle choices forced on them by an employer, it is wholly and completely wrong. And while you are on about reading posts properly you should try it. My post states that my wife was a veggie for nearly 20 years and I never had a problem with it, it was her informed and independent choice. People at that place are being discriminated against if they eat meat and maybe it should be challenged legally because the ones who didn't want it are suffering through no fault of their own. There is no such thing as a democratic vote on a subject such as this in a work place as it has an effect on only a minority. It is not necesarry and the company should hang their heads in shame for their discriminatroy behaviour.Cryssys wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 11:39 amTry reading the article, the bit where it says:

This is not an argument for or against vegetariansim, people can do as they wish, it is the principle of an employer forcing people, or attempting to force people, into a lifestyle they do not want or face financial consequences, if you think that is right then please don't quote democracy to me.

Dear Lord, how many times do you need telling! I'll say it again for the hard of thinking; It wasn't enforced.
The policy was proposed by an employee, put to a vote and the vote was carried.

Meat isn't a fundamental requirement, however a diet devoid of meat will need supplementing to replace nutrients that are predominately found in animal products. The human body isn't made to purely eat plant based.
The most environmentally friendly diet, in my opinion, would include locally produced meat alongside locally produced fruit and veg.

A few years ago we got stuck at an airport in Spain because our Ryanair plane was delayed. The reason? The plane coming out wasn't full so they waited until the next one and put the two together.

Nothing was enforced, It was put to a democratic vote and the majority voted in favour. It was there informed and independent choice. You may not agree with it but the employees did and voted accordingly.
Re: "No meat" expenses policy
Democracy about whether we should be in or out of the EU has to have a winner or a loser. There's no compromise, it's either/or.
This sort of thing shouldn't be covered. Vegetarians should be free to avoid meat, meat-eaters should be free to eat it, both parties can easily be accommodated. All sorts of things could be decided by employee majority vote - wearing socks, say - but why should they be?
If the boss wants to say that it's a meat-free firm, that's slightly different. But for the employee majority to tell the employee minority what they can and can't do, that's wrong.

Re: "No meat" expenses policy
This wouldn't affect me as I barely eat meat but it's a very bad policy in my view. This shouldn't be forced on people at individual employer level.
It's no surprise though, given the ideological zealotry of many vegetarians.

Re: "No meat" expenses policy
I can buy into the meat free theories and I've cut back a lot recently. This does seem excessive though.
Imagine they only expensed travel if you went by bike and refused to expense travel by other means if it wasn't carbon neutral?
I understand that producing meat leaves a bigger carbon footprint, but in the grand scheme of things if this company ensures its employees don't eat meat (or reduces it significantly), what is the impact on the carbon footprint?
So many better ways to achieve carbon neutrality than this, definitely an attempt to get people talking and it's worked...
