Gordon Ramsay tweets about turning vegan; shocks fans

Michelin star chef Gordon Ramsay appears to have taken a U-turn from his stand of mocking the plantbased diet. Recently, he took to his Twitter to post a photo of a cheeseless pizza topped with tomato, mushroom, pine nuts and pesto, captioning it, “Going to give this whole #vegan thing a try. Yes guys you heard that right. Gx.”

His followers were in for a shock right away, with several posting memes that said, “We fear change” and “This tweet was so savage I had to re-read it to confirm what I was seeing.” Vegans hailed Ramsay for giving the cuisine a shot, and encouraged him. But the pizza, which lacked dairy substitutes like vegan cheese, was also criticised by some vegans.

A user tweeted requesting Ramsay to work on a vegan spinoff of his TV show, Hell’s Kitchen. Prior to the post, Ramsay posted another short video of a lit-wood stone oven and captioned it, “There’s something cooking in The City of #London. Can you guess?” Later, we found out, that the video was of the same vegan pizza that he later posted.

Although a change in the dietary stance of Gordon has not been yet confirmed, it’s no less a shocking statement by a chef who had earlier posted his own full-form of PETA. In February, the chef tweeted, “I’m a member of PETA! People eating tasty animals.” This tweet was re-tweeted more than 43,000 times. PETA originally stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Ramsay, who is known for his foul-mouthed language, has never shied away from being vocal about his pro-meat stance.

RAMSAY, WHO HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR HIS PROMEAT STANCE UNTIL NOW, WAS HAILED BY VEGANS AND EVEN HAD THE STEP WELCOMED BY PETA LATER
