Osher Gunsberg reveals why he HATES vegans... even though he is one: 'I'd never use that word'

Osher Gunsberg has revealed an innate 'hatred' of vegans, despite following a plant-based diet since 2002.

The revelation came when Osher, 51, was chatting to Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss, on the former Bachelor star's podcast Better Than Yesterday.

The pair were discussing their pet 'hates' in the left-right ideological dichotomy when Osher revealed that he dislikes even uttering the term vegan.

 'I f***ing hate vegans and I'm vegan,' Osher said, much to the agreement of Daniel.

'They're the reason that I tell people: "Oh I'm just plant-based." I'd never use that word.'

Continuing on his anti-vegan rant, Osher said that he dislikes the tactics some of the more militant vegans employ to convert meat-eaters to their lifestyle.

'Like, I'm not going to show you footage of an abattoir, I'm not going to do that,' he said.

'I'm not going to make weird meat is murder things while you're eating, I'm not going to talk about: "How does that face taste?"

Osher added that while he takes an 'each to their own' approach to food, vocal vegans might need to take a step back.

'I'm not going to say anything like that. What you put in your mouth is your business, but for God's sakes, f***ing pipe down, guys,' he said.

He added that another 'ick' when it comes to vegans is the high standards some apply to others.

'Why I can't stand it is you can never be pure enough,' he said. 

'It just shoots itself in the foot every time by trying to bully people into it.'  

It comes after Osher, who also suffers from coeliac disease, railed against the vegan options offered at the Logies.

Sharing a bizarre TikTok video of himself dancing in 2023, he slammed the plant-based fare plated up at past events.

'When you're a vegan coeliac at the Logies and realise that dinner isn't a fking veggie stack,' he wrote in the caption.

In the comments section, The Bachelor host went on to say he was placing bets on what terrible food options they would have for him this year.

'I am considering asking Sports Bet to run a book on it. Veggie stack is paying $1.27 but s***ty mushroom risotto is the outside chance at $1.84,' he said. 

Meanwhile, back in 2018, Osher revealed that he was forced to bring his own meal to that year's Logies.

Appearing on The Kyle & Jackie O Show at the time, Osher explained the reasons behind his bespoke dinner.

'Yes I brought my own dinner to the Logies, I got diagnosed a coeliac,' he admitted.

'I’m vegan, coeliac and sober. I’m the most boring man in Sydney.'

Osher continued: 'Anything that has gluten in it can make me sick. So if gluten touches my small intestine, that’s where a lot of the food absorption happens.' 

Jackie asked Osher how he managed to sneak his healthy dinner into the exclusive awards ceremony.

'Who was carrying it?' she interjected. 'I didn't see you carry it on the red carpet.'

'I asked a publicist to take it. I had a little takeaway pack,' he giggled, explaining he ate a healthy plant-based meal from one of his favourite vegan restaurants on the night.
