The editor of a British food magazine has stepped down after making a joke in an email to a freelancer that he would be keen to develop a series about “killing vegans.”
In his email, Waitrose & Partners Food Magazine editor William Sitwell also suggested other forms of degradation that he would like to see vegans subjected to including “force-feed[ing] them meat.”
“We have been informed by John Brown Media, who produce the Waitrose & Partners Food Magazine, that William Sitwell is stepping down as Editor of Waitrose & Partners Food magazine with immediate effect,” said the magazine in a statement on Wednesday.
