This would be similar to dietary preferences. If someone is a vegan

I was about to make the same comparison (I've been writing a reply to
your other mail for the past week, but the amount of time I have during
the week is rather limited).
The meat eaters can do their thing, but deciding that they would buy a
steak for everyone attending including the vegans, in the hope that the
vegans will relent because they understand that the steak will go to
waste if they don't eat it and that would be even worse: that strategy
has, in the entire history of veganism, not worked even once.
It just makes people think "if my attendance causes steaks to be
purchased, I will not attend."
