I am somewhat puzzled and disappionted to be called an ochlocrat while trying to find a solution for the problem that does not mean not having the talk video anymore and baning photographs from most places. And taking the risk to be called an ochlocrat once again, I would also argue against accomodating vegans if the proposed solution would be that everyone has to eat vegan food all the time. The current solution for accomodating vegans that we offer vegan meals in addition to other meals is extra effort but IMO well worth it. To me this seems quite similar to various solution to accomodate those not wanting to be photographed proposed in this thread. Gaudenz P.S.: It might be that I have a wrong understaning what ochlocrat means. My understanding is based on reading the first part of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochlocracy
