In a bizarre incident, English journalist and television personality Piers Morgan in his first appearance on a TV program of 2020 went on a rant about Gregg's new steak bake product, which is pure vegan. He decided to complain about the item because he believed that vegan or vegetarian food shouldn't have the same name as cuts of meat as he earlier did about vegan sausage rolls.
Morgan's argument
The 54-year-old said, "It’s not a steak. ​If you Google steak, a steak is a cut of meat or fish, it’s not vegan or vegetarian. That is a steak, this is not. This is actually meat and they should not be using meat terminology to sell non-meat products. It’s a total con, you lot are all falling for it." There were reportedly long queues of people who had paid to be there. "You’re all falling for it. Salt-laden… garbage. There’s nothing virtuous about the Greggs steak bake. The nation's become a nation of lemmings".
Netizens divided
Susanna Reid, Morgan's co-star argued that nobody was being paid to queue up at Greggs but did add that calling it a steak was perhaps incorrect. She also added that it was not as unhealthy as Morgan has pointed out.
But Morgan's argue caught a lot of attention on the internet as it was shared by the esteemed show on Twitter. Let us take a look at how netizens reacted over the video.
