I'd take it as attempting to align with a wider corporate policy.
That's the norm.
You can't set a corporate policy of trying to reduce meat consumption, for example, and then pay for people to eat meat. That would be bizarre.
If it was me, i'd be ordering a Veggy meal , and a meat one, and claiming the veggy one even though I never touched it, just to make them pay something. That's the norm.

The incentive is "If you buy a veggie meal the Company will reimburse the cost". You seem to be thinking that meal allowances are compulsory/mandatory. They're not, there is NO requirement for companies to pay subsistence allowances, or mileage allowances, or any other allowances. Countdown said:

If their policy was "If you buy a meal the Company will reimburse the cost" and it is now "If you buy a veggie meal the Company will reimburse the cost", that is not an incentive, it's a disincentive. An incentive would be to allow veggie meals a higher £ allowance

Tomayto Tomahto - is the removal of an incentive a "disincentive"?An incentive would be to allow veggie meals a higher £ allowance
As I said above, there's no obligation for Companies to reimburse your meal costs, and Companies change policies ALL the time. To use some common PH responses ..."Their gaff, their rules", "If you don't like it you know where the door is", "FI or FO" etc etc etc
Yes gods, at what point in the last 25 (or so) pages did everyone forget that the company in question actually polled their staff about this, and the staff said: it's okay.
The company isn't stopping anyone from eating meat. At work or anywhere else. They're just saying they won't cover it on expenses.
And if you think that's an affront to your human rights, you don't have to work for the company. Snowflake.

Not dissimilar to Brexit, but that didn't stop half the country whining about it for four entire years. Just because something was voted in favour of, doesn't make it automatically ok for those that lost.Countdown said:

It's clear what the new policy is supposed to disincentivise, the eating of meat.

I rather suspect you wouldn’t be a cultural ‘fit’ for such a company anyway.

People are being hired based on things that have no bearing on their ability to do their job. Vegan hires a Vegan . So you end up with a dystopic view of the world because the view of those round the table is not representative of the real world .
And while its fine to say ' well if everyone is represented, it has to be better', you can see companies full of yoghurt knitters springing up all over the place, and anyone who voices any kind of dissent is considered to be 'off message'.
So companies openly forcing an EV only policy on employee's , when EV sales are 2% of the market isn't really on is it, same as the ' we must all use the bus '.. which is actually 'you must all use the bus , because I have a space reserved in the executive car park.
And you are right, I have worked with this type of s
t , and left as a result, because it breeds discontent, and resentment. What once was a company that was on the right track, turns into a place full of Man Buns,Hipster beards and comfortable shoes, and from then on , its nepotism central . If you want eat smashed avocado on toast for breakfast , have at it , but not at the expense of my bacon roll.
