GORDON RAMSAY'S PROPOSALS ARE LUDICROUS AND HYPOCRITICAL
9 May 2008
Responding to celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s suggestion that restaurants should be fined unless they serve local produce in season, Progressive Vision, the classical liberal think tank, has said the proposals are utterly ludicrous and hypocritical.
Mark Littlewood, communications director of Progressive Vision, said;
“The idea that law enforcement officers should ensure that the right type of strawberries are sold at the appropriate time of year is utterly ludicrous. Chefs should be entitled to serve whatever produce they want, whenever they want. It’s up to individuals – not Gordon Ramsay and Gordon Brown – to decide which restaurants are worthy of their custom.
“Gordon Ramsay’s apparent concern for the environment smacks of hypocrisy. This is a man who enjoys driving Aston Martins, Ferraris, Bentleys, BMWs and Range Rovers. If he is so determined to cut carbon emissions, he should start by getting rid of his luxury cars rather than by lecturing the rest of us about when and where we can eat asparagus.”
