      Judge Postle: to be protected, “The belief must have a similar status or cogency to religious beliefs ... Clearly, having a belief relating to an important aspect of human life or behaviour is not enough in itself for it to have a similar status or cogency to a religious belief.”

      Judge found that as vegetarians can have many different reasons for being vegetarian (environmental, health, animal welfare and so on) that vegetarianism does not satisfy the test of cogency. Contrast to veganism - this does, the judge said, have cogency and cohesion about it.

      This case (and others about veganism) will have some relevance for the upcoming ET case on whether gender critical feminism is capable of protection. @MForstater

      It also seems to misunderstand reasons for veganism.... surely they are just as varied?

      As a lapsed vegetarian (a phrase I really use, as a returner to fish..) I would have thought the conceptual problem with EA protection is that vegetarianism (and veganism) is by definition a *practice*, rather than a belief?

      cf: wearing a turban or observing the Sabbath. i.e. practice is the manifestation of a belief. can be directly discriminated for belief or indirectly, if manifesting yr belief conflicts w policies that apply to everyone but which are particularly detrimental to those w the belief

          I hope that is appealed: I just can't see the EAT was right here - speaking as both a vegetarian and an atheist!

          Agree 100% - why should my belief system be denied status as such, simply because other people have different reasons for reaching the same end belief? Terrible incoherent decision.
