Why is Gordon Ramsay so vile to vegetarians?!
Why is Gordon Ramsay so vile to vegetarians?
I never was his biggest fan but....
I saw a trailer for the 'F' word (his T.V.Show) and he told a member of Girls aloud ' that vegetarians were not welcome. There was another trailer for E4 - I think, where they ask a few 'talking heads' who they last lied to and he says 'A vegetarian' (it wouldn't be funny if they sued him would it?) I hadn't realised how much he hates veggies.
I don't mind any one eating meat as long as they are ok with me being a vegan. So why are people like Gordon so full of spite towards us?
Answers:
cos hes an ugly animal killing foul mouthed n*bhead
He fears people who can see things he can't, so he belittles them. People often lash out against things they don't understand.
I love my food btw people below, I havn't eaten meat for years, it is only hard for meateaters to cook for vegatarians because they are so stuck in their own ways, they've never considered alternatives! xx
I think he is a foul mouthed, pompous jerk to begin with. He actually had his kids raise turkeys as pets, then slaughtered them for Christmas dinner. I wouldnt be surprised if his kids are whacked out about food when they become adults. It would be a riot if all of his kids ended up die hard vegans due to his ignorance wouldnt it? I would love it!
*they like to cook so most of the good dishes contain meat.it is had to find vegan or veggie dishes that the chefs like to make.my daughters boyfriend is a veggy and it makes life very hard for the rest of us.
Think about it, his trade basicaly is cooking, and we all know that meat tastes good. Ive known chefs who have put chicken stocks and meat derived ingredients into vegetarian dishes for being "attention seekers". Personally I agree somewhat with what they are saying, some vegetarians go to restaurants and basically want to write their own menu, which can be a like kick in the goolies for chefs. so i can kinda see his point.
Gordon Ramsey is vile to everyone on his televison shows, it's all part of the persona the shows producers want to present of a no nonsence straight talking and ever so slightly controversial man to be feared in the kitchen.
I wouldn't take it too seriously if I were you.
I don't like him either. Basically he's very arrogant and thinks he can do whatever he wants with no repercussions. Anyway, he's also behind the times. If he really were a good chef he'd know the trend is vegetarian in restaurants and a good option for people like me who don't want beef beef beef all the time.
Yes I watch his stupid programmes to see how mean he is to veggies.I saw that advert on the tv aswell and I think he should be put in the slaughter house
I think it's a great example of ignorance, and disregard for peoples beliefs. I think that he will soon feel the sting from many that find his actions revolting.
It infuriates me, to think that someone who would deliberately serve me meat after being informed that I am a vegetarian. I think that people that say veggies should stick to veggie restaurants are developing a segregation, and we have learned from history to be wrong. Although eating and diet is not as serious as racism, I still think it's wrong on so many levels.
He loves meat
I am not a true vegetarian I like alot of vegetarian stuff but haven't fully given up meat. But in my opinion this gordon guy is just scared and uneducated as are most people who think if your a vegan there is something wrong with you. Its just prejudice. And most of the time prejudice is just lack of knowledge. Anyone can be afraid of something they know nothing or very little about. And people tend to make fun of things when they don't know enough about it to understand it. You and I may not mind what others choose to eat or not eat. But look at most vegans who choose to share their opinions publicly they pretty much bash meat eaters as much as meat eaters bash them for being vegan. The world we live in is not perfect and never will be. People who eat meat think that people who don't are weird and people who choose not eat meat often choose to push their beliefs on those who do. I choose to stay out of it I believe everyone has a right to make their own choices in their life. This subject will not be resolved anytime soon its like religion people think their religion is better then other peoples religions. There is always going to be some person who eats meat bashing those who don't and there is always going to be a vegetarian who bashes people who choose to eat meat. Our world is full of prejudice whether its race, religion or whether or not to eat meat. We just have to learn to live with prejudice and try not to take other peoples opinions too seriously. Everyone has a right to their opinion remember the saying opinions are like a**holes everyone has one. But thats all it is it's their opinion not yours or mine.
Because it is said to make good television.
Frankly, he is not worth your concern.
First of all, I am not vile towards vegetarians. I don't know if you have noticed, but I have been trying to go vegetarian myself. I just got done eating a large green salad with ranch dressing (vegan ranch dressing by the way, no dairy!)
Honey, it is a part of his TV persona. He is this...gruff, manly macho man who slaughters his own animals and cares about food, especially meat.
At least the other chefs at his restaurant are willing to cook vegetarian dishes if vegetarians go to the restaurants. So live with it...it is just television, and in truth, I doubt that he means any real offence with it. He is just being Gordon Ramsay.
Because he is only famous as a chef for swearing and being cruel to people?
It's his trademark.It's vegetarians this time.Next time he'll be conning a Jew into eating pork or something.
He's just an annoying cretin.
I think the point is on the f word is that everybody eats the same - there is no choice. and since veges are a minority, they are not catered for.
His other restaurants have vege food options, so dont take it all so personally. The programme is not about running a restaurant.
He is an idiot.he raised two piglets then slaughtered them and got his family to eat them and he asked'do you think they taste better because we raised them?'
he is an horrible selfish ugly idiot.
People like him don't understand why we give up meat and think that vegetarians are stuck up and arrogant. It's a stereotype people like him have for vegetarians.
Gordan is nasty as most chefs are because they threatened in some bizarre way. Being veggie makes us different to them in the same way that a bright kid gets singled out by the uneducated school yard bully.
Meat eaters never realise that most of he time they eat veggie food anyway. Take the Sunday roast. Remove the piece of animal and you are left with a plate of various veg.
Most don't even realise that beans on toast is vegetarian.
The only saving grace for Gordan is the animals he has raised and slaughtered in front of his family. At least his kids know what meat is and that it isn't just food.
I've heard him say before that vegetarians aren't welcome at his restaurants. Well, yah boo sucks to him - I wouldn't want to eat in one of his establishments, the git!! :-P
PS: Foxy, are you G Ramsay under cover or just an idiot?
His ability to shock and offend people is wearing thin, so he is desperately looking for new groups to upset. Also, he probably feels threatened by vegetarians and rather than engage in an intellectual debate on the ethics of what he is doing, he resorts to cheap stunts to bad mouth that which he is afraid of. Its not unlike the way rugby players treat gay people.
Just don't watch his show!
I hate Gordon Ramsey...he is a loud mouthed bully and has a face like a screwed up toffee. One I'd never tire of slapping
it takes more skill to cook. but his wife is a veggie.
i tell u something if i ever meet gordon ramsay i'll FUC*ING PUT HIM IN A STIR FRY AND THEM THROW HIM IN THE BIN how can he bring up beautiful lambs look after them feed them let them love him and trust him then flipping kill them and eat em grrrrrrrrr it really p***me off I'm a vegetarian and always will be! i think there was once a show called hells kitchen?I'm not sure but i think gordon was in it well they got the name right when he dies he'll be going to hell the stupid murderer if he hates animals i hate him simple as channel 4 is not an animal loving channel at all they suck! sorry for my language but it really anoyyes me :s lol

he is vile to them because vegetarians and even worse vegans are an abomination of all that is holy.
oh and jesus ate meat. you think you're better then him because you dont?
I can remember watching a program where he explained why. He said something like they are harder to cook for and there are less receipes for them.. He's obviously not a very good chef!
well done. He should be sued for letting the man eat meat, it could have been serious for the man, some people can't eat meat physically. He is obviously a shite cook if he can't cook food without one of a few main animals in. It is piss easy to cook for a vegetarian, easier in fact than cooking meat.
It is illegal to sell something under a false name, and false pretences.
Hi Andie,
I caught that clip as well.
I just ignore him, I (and i know you are ) am comfortable with my stance. If he is so narrow minded that he cannot even think about the topic without swearing or criticising us then so what ?.
At the end of the day,its just good for his image to slag us off.
Its interesting to look around those kitchens he visits though. Can you ever imagine ANY of thier menu options being veggie with all the cross contamination that goes on. A good lesson to all veggies who eat out and think they are eating veggie food just because its got a "v" next to it. Our local pub says they had a question from a veggie asking if the cheese was veggie. Their response ? "wanting the cheese to be vegetarian is just going too far"....needless to say we don't send any of our guests there anymore....and they still have all those options marked as veggie......
Come and visit us, you will get lots of respect and good veggie food !
Cheers,

Because some of you like Lenka are vile, to omnivores, I am not saying Gordon Ramsey's behavior is acceptable, free will works both ways.
He gets a lot of abuse from a large number of vegetarians, because he does not cater for them. The sympathy runs out eventually.
Yeah he's really mean - this really gets to me - I don't care what other people eat, so why do they feel they have the right to tell me to eat meat!?! But anyway, as for Gordon Ramsay, I do think that he's just mean about every thing and every one - he really doesn't like us veges, but I think it's more cos we're fussy n wouldn't eat anything he cooked us, but I dunno - it's not v kind anyway! xxx
