TAFC Comment: I don’t see where tweeting that someone is going to try a slice of vegan pizza – from one of his own shops – registers as a proclamation that he is giving up cooking and eating animals. It sounds more like a publicity stunt to focus world attention on his new London eatery called Gordon Ramsey’s Street Pizza. He wants vegan people to know they can get a slice of vegan pizza at his new restaurant.

Time will tell.
CELEBRITY chef and long-time vegan critic Gordon Ramsay has now revealed he’s embracing the popular food trend.

In 2005, Ramsay sparked outrage after giving a pizza which secretly contained meat to a vegetarian during an episode of the second series of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares — an episode which aired during National Vegetarian Week. In 2007, he criticised former Girl’s Aloud singer Cheryl Ann Tweedy for her vegetarianism during an episode of The F Word, and later that year the father-of-four said in an interview he would “electrocute” his kids if they ever adopted a plant-based diet. In 2016, he tweeted that he was allergic to vegans which caused a fresh controversy, and in February this year Ramsay offended vegans around the world after his tweet stating “I’m a member of PETA! People eating tasty animals …” went viral…
