I think we have fundamentally different values, and any attempt by either side to convince the other is going to fail. To me, religious restrictions are in greater need of reverence than dietary ones.

Religious restrictions deserve no reverence at all and it is up to the religious person in question to prepare their own food if they're going to apply arbitrary, non-health related restrictions. Dietary restrictions born out of a personal conviction (like veganism) also deserve no reverence or consideration from others. Only when your health is actually at stake (like being allergic to gluten or lactose intolerant) should others be considerate.
