Italian chef sparks outrage with a tirade against vegans...

Popular Italian TV chef Gianfranco Vissani described vegans as "a sect" and said he would "kill them all", before being swiftly rebuked by a co-presenter on a cooking programme.

The episode of 'In Onda' (On Air) featured a discussion about molecular gastronomy, a current cooking trend where food scientists study the chemical transformations that take place while food cooks in order to experiment with different tastes or creative appearance.

When one chef described this kind of cooking as a "lifestyle", Vissani was swift to interject. "What do you mean, like vegans?" he asked, before launching into a tirade against vegans.

 "Vegans are like [members of] a sect, they're like Jehovah's Witnesses," he said. Full story...
