Is it illegal to discriminate against Vegans at work?

Many employers understand that any form of discrimination in the workplace is undesirable, and a recent legal case has established that discrimination against Vegans may breach the Equality Act, exposing the business to the risk of a compensation claim.

I discussed this issue with People Management magazine and explained why employers needed to be careful about policies that treated Vegans less favourably than other workers (https://www.peoplemanagement.co.uk/article/1746960/include-ethical-veganism-in-diversity-policies).
