I find this fascinating on many levels, and it will be interesting to see how things develop. One one hand, you could say this move violates basic human rights to decide what to eat and how to nourish themselves. For example, it is well known that protein and fat-rich diets are beneficial to patients suffering from diabetes, epilepsy and many other ailments, and many people have seen huge improvements in overall health by following a keto or paleo regimens which are simply unobtainable without meat. From that perspective, you can read into this decision as downright discriminatory and even harmful for many of their employees. There are probably grounds for a lawsuit as well. On the other hand, you could applaud them for taking a stand and fighting over a worthwhile cause, as it is in fact true animal farms are one of the the main factors contributing to environmental change. The move is even bolder given how polarized the audience is around this - vegeterians vs meat eaters is a never ending drama. If they decided to make their lunches sugar-free, nobody would object, but making them meat-free seems to piss people off for some reason. Personally, I think it’s just a bad PR move as it will be hard and costly to enforce this rule on many levels, but time will tell. |

WeWork isn't preventing people eating meat. They're just opting not to give people free meat.
it will be hard and costly to enforce this rule
Presuming WeWork currently have some way of recording their spending on food for employees, I can't see how this will be much more work to enforce?
