Blink-182 For T-Mobile

Travis Barker interviewed with Radio Big Boy where confirmed our suspicions that he’s back to eating vegetarian since he quit the diet briefly after a plane crash last year.

Travis has also been toying with veganism, citing the facts he’s learned about the dairy industry as his motivation.

Plus, he’s recruited dear ol’ dad in the game.

RBB: You off of meat again, Travis?

Travis: I’m almost full blown vegan now.

RBB: Cause you were vegan before the accident.

Travis: I was vegetarian. I’ve pretty much cut out dairy as well.

RBB (joking): I was just about to offer you a glass of milk.

Travis: Once you find out all the crazy stuff with dairy, you’d probably second guess it too, man. My pops, he’s a Vietman Vet, hard core, old school-he used to make fun of me cause I didn’t eat meat…Now after being on tour and going to some of the spots, he’s at home trying to find vegan spots in that area.

To hear the entire interview, including Travis’ thoughts on the death of his friend DJ AM, visit Radiobigboy.com.

The vegan conversation starts at Part 3.

More evidence that Travis Barker didn’t abandon his vegetarian ways permanently after an injury a year ago.

A recent Tweet revealed Travis likes to eat vegan with the kiddies.

“Just ate at the Vegan Factory wit my kids, soooooo good. Now gettin’ ready for practice tonight.”

Vegan Factory is a family owned Thai-vegan establishment in Tarzana, California that offers soups, salads, wraps, noodles, and veggie burgers, plus traditional Thai foods like vegan versions of orange chicken and shrimp and other fish entrees.

Keep teaching the children well, Travis.

Travis Barker was a longtime vegan who temporarily started eating meat after a plane crash that resulted him needing several skin grafts for burns.

Sadly, the Blink 182 recently loss his friend DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) who was the only other survivor of the plane crash.

He did this on the advice on doctors and took some flak from the veg community.

However, it appears that Travis still loves his vegan grub.

From a recent Tweet:

“Eating the best vegan food for lunch:)”

We’re happy Travis is back to eating the good stuff!

Just wish he’d given us more details on the meal. We like salivating over our computers.

Travis Barker Barking Up Meat Tree For Recovery

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 9th, 2008 in Male Musicians, Not So Vegetarian.

Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker survived a nasty plane crash and thankfully is on his way to a full recovery.

Although he’s normally a vegetarian, he’s temporarily eating meat because he feels it will help him heal faster.

“Because I was a vegetarian, for my first three surgeries, it was hard to get any of my grafts to take to my real skin,” he said. “I have such low levels of protein. I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could [to get better]. They said, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did.”

While we feel there are plenty of ways to get protein in from non-meat sources, it would be awfully insensitive for us to jump on a man after being in such a horrible crash. So we’ll wish one of our favorite tattooed rockers a speedy recovery when he can once again go back to the veg lifestyle.
