Millionaire fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood has suggested families who cant afford to buy organic food should simply eat less.

She was delivering a petition to Downing Street outlining concerns about genetically modified crops.

But when she was challenged by a BBC Radio 5Live reporter who said not everybody can afford to eat organic food, the 73-year-old replied they should stop eating so much.

However, she softened her tone when it was suggested that eating less isnt an option for the poorest.
