The Spaniard was speaking as he launched a new collection of his Kimoa fashion label, with all profits directed to a charity concerned with ocean pollution.
He added: "I would never release a message like Lewis'. You can't send out a message on one day, and on the next day do the opposite.
"We all know the lifestyle that Lewis has, and that F1 drivers take 200 planes a year. You can't then say 'don't eat meat'," Alonso charged.
As for his new clothing line, Alonso said the sweatshirts are made from recycled plastic bottles.
"I believe that donating in full or doing the auction we are doing brings much more than anything we can say," the two-time world champion said.
