From his regular criticism of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to his bold stances on societal matters, the former Good Morning Britain presenter is well known for riling people up with his controversial opinions.

He’s also had a few run-ins with vegans and on one occasion, the TV presenter raised a few eyebrows…

After watching the interview in question, people took to social media and reacted, with many praising Morgan.

One viewer wrote: “Oh wow, I used to dislike Piers Morgan but after this, my respect for him has reached stratospheric levels.”

Another added: “Piers, you got me laughing.”

A third person said: “I’m always 50/50 on love-hate for Piers but he’s hilarious here.”

“Piers destroyed this guy and even he knows it. The look on his face during the entire interview is absolutely great,” somebody else commented.

However, others weren’t so impressed with Morgan, with one person penning: “You are 60 years old – you should be embarrassed by that infantile display.”

In agreement, a second said: “Television content at its absolute worst. Have a word, Piers. How old are you, 12?”

The viral interview followed a series of demonstrations from Animal Rebellion, ‘a mass movement that uses nonviolent civil disobedience to bring about a transition to a just and sustainable plant-based food system.’

According to The Guardian, more than 100 of its members stopped the fresh milk supply in parts of England in September 2022.

The movement claimed to have emptied milk shelves in high-end grocery stores across the country, reports Metro.

A sole campaigner also targeted Salt Bae’s London eatery.

Debating the issue, Morgan invited Animal Rebellion spokesperson Nathan McGovern onto his Talk TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored.

The ex-GMB presenter began by telling McGovern: “I think you all look pretty pasty-faced and unhealthy to me.”

He continued: “What I don’t do is I don’t go running into vegan restaurants and start screaming abuse at you all and have to be pulled out by people because you’re ruining everyone’s fun.”

In response, McGovern said the host had begun the interview with an ‘absolute blinder,’ before explaining precision fermentation, which uses microorganisms to produce specific functional ingredients, per The Good Food Institute.

He claimed this process is capable of creating animal protein using a ‘fraction of the land’ and ‘carbon footprint.’

Morgan interjected this, stating: “But I like eating meat.”

McGovern was then questioned on what he eats, to which he said enjoys ‘seasonal British fruit and veg’ and ‘supporting British farmers.’

As the debate continued, Morgan told the Animal Rebellion member that ‘none of you make me want to change my mind,’ at which point a steak dinner was brought out for him to enjoy.

The host said: “Here’s my point, I love eating steak. I’m not going to stop eating steak. And the very last thing on earth that will stop me eating steak is people like you with your pasty faces running into our restaurants and telling us to stop eating steak.”

McGovern responded: “That is absolutely fine, Piers.”

Concluding the debate, Morgan told the activist: “If you want to win an argument, you just can’t be annoying all the time.”
