Fox News gotta Fox News and this time it may have outdone itself. With all the energy of a 12-year-old internet troll, Fox News TV host Jesse Watters tucked into a steak as he chatted with a vegan doctor.
Fox News is one of America’s most popular news networks but one that hasn’t been without controversy. Often taking a hard line and a bias towards right-wing politics, Fox News has always been opinionated and not afraid to voice its thoughts.
Jesse Watters who host ‘Watter’s World’ likes to ruffle a few feathers here and there and decided to do just that as he interviews Dr. Delessio-Parson.

Opinions online were split as is usual with the vegan debate. Some people thought what he did was hilarious while others thought the behaviour was crass and gimmicky and diverted from the subject at hand.
The professor tried to hit back at his behaviour and said, “Yeah, that's some nice, dead cow hanging on your fork.” Also adding, “Did God tell you that?"
Comments have since started pouring in and let us tell you that they’re all over the place.

On the other hand, others were all for it,
"That’s pretty funny. I think if he slaughtered a pig while maintaining vigorous eye contact it could be a bit disrespectful but this is great."

Some people were rethinking their fan status.
I've never been a fan of FoxNews. But this might have me rethinking that.https://t.co/8Fd6nhjqId https://t.co/8Fd6nhjqId

Some just said that it was a joke,
"I have some vegetation friends and they’re not uptight and can handle a joke. This is juvenile, a bit crass, and absolutely hilarious!!!"

Why is food such a polarizing subject? What do you think?
