Sir Paul McCartney slams Gordon Ramsay for veggie jibe

Musician has enjoyed a meat-free diet for 30 years

Sir Paul McCartney's four-year-old daughter Beatrice is vegan

Sir Paul McCartney says Gordon Ramsay talks ‘stupid’ when it comes to vegetarians.

Gordon, 41, recently admitted he’d be upset if his children didn't want to eat meat anymore.

But Macca, 66, thinks the world would be a better place if we stuck to veg.

‘I will talk to people about the advantages of vegetarianism and it will upset me if we've had a good conversation and they turn around and say something stupid,’ he tells Sainsbury's magazine.

‘I just read a quote from Gordon Ramsay... but even that I would forgive because it's not my affair, it's not up to me if he talks stupid or not.'

Gordon recently persuaded 50 vegetarians to eat veal on Channel 4 show The F Word.

‘My biggest nightmare would be if the kids ever came up to me and said, “Dad, I'm a vegetarian”,’ he recently confessed.

‘Then I would sit them on the fence and electrocute them.’
