In other words, it is evidently not that big a deal. So why the fuss over it? Offer up some vegetarian options and be done with it. That's what restaurants do, after all. This is really not that complicated.
Where it starts to get complicated is when folks take the stance that: [You can't tell us that we HAVE to offer up vegetarian stuff. Get your government out of our ass!]
The logical extrapolation of that line of reasoning is the scenario where schools serve manna every day...every...single...day. And you better damn like it.

People dont start special interest groups to lobby to Congress and the White House when they just want people to act on their own accord to be nice to each other and offer Vegan meals to Vegans...
they want a law...
