Let’s face it. Most celebrity chefs are meat eaters.
So it was no surprise when Gordon Ramsay tweeted: “I’m a member of PETA! People eating tasty animals.”
Social media, however, reacted as if he’d let off a bomb. The response was instant and bloated. Vegan trolls and PETA activists latched onto his comment angrily. Confident meat eaters enrage some vegans.
“Funny how you always have vegetables with your meat though. If it was so tasty you could eat meat on its own without sauces, chips or veg etc,” posted one furious Twitter user.
Another added: “Non vegans lack compassion that’s why you eat corpses with the only argument of meat tasting good.”
I've had this since that idiot Gordon Ramsey posted the PETA comment and then 'This Morning' dared to interview a Vegan. It really upset the corpse munchers and brought them out in full force. Their one brain cell was working overtime.

Ramsay didn’t bother defending himself. He’s a multi-millionaire TV personality and celebrity chef. Cities like Las Vegas and Miami are studded with his restaurants. Everyone knows that he’s a meat lover, he has no need to hide it.
His defenders showed up on social media as well.
“The biggest thing that is bothering me is this general idea that meat, in any form, from any source, is a wholly damnable offense to our species, and we are mocked and ridiculed to believe that it’s only ‘go vegan or go home’. It really shows an extremely closed mindset,” Twitter user Shawn Holmes wrote.
Another Ramsay defender said: “I respect your choice to be vegan. Now respect my choice to be omnivore. Thnx. His comment is perfectly valid if you think about it.”
PETA members seem to spend most of their time finding new people to fight with. Their old tactics, like the many times they hurled red paint on actresses decked in real fur, no longer work. Instead, they promote themselves by picking squabbles with famous people.
Ramsay previously pissed of vegans when he said he was allergic to them. That comment kicked off a social media firestorm as well.
