The editor of the U.K.'s Waitrose Food magazine left the publication after making controversial comments about vegans, reports The Guardian. William Sitwell made the comments in an e-mail to a freelance journalist in response to a plant-based meal series. Sitwell, who was formally a judge on Masterchef, quickly apologized when the comments were made public this week.
Waitrose supermarkets started selling more vegan products this year and announced a new vegan range for its stores earlier in October, including vegan Christmas meals. Sitwell reiterated his apology in an Instagram post "to any food and life-loving vegan who was genuinely offended by remarks written by me as an ill-judged joke in a private e-mail and now widely reported," according to the report.
