Former vegetarian Travis Barker eats meat again after plane crash

PETA is going to be all over this in a heartbeat! In fact, I'm surprised they haven't jumped on the story already. Maybe they're just trying to be respectful since Travis Barker nearly died recently, but somehow I doubt it. Most likely they just haven't thought of a high profile enough way to attack yet.

Travis used to be a die-hard vegetarian, but ever since he survived a horrific plane crash he's had to start eating meat again. After 25 years of his vegetarian lifestyle, he actually didn't find the change in diet too difficult.


The decision to start consuming animals again started because of doctor's orders. Travis was told that his third degree burns would start to heal more quickly if he had the protein in his diet.

He's quoted as saying that he doesn't mind, as long not being a vegetarian helps him along the road to recovery, "I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, 'There's a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits'. So I did. I don't regret it at all, I feel so much better."
