"Veganism is not merely a social philosophy or dietary preference. It may be entitled to legal protection. This is because the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations protect religious practices, and a commitment to veganism is similar to traditional religious views in that is based on moral or ethical beliefs on right and wrong that are sincerely held. – U.S. District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel, Sakile S. Chenzira v. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center"​
