Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is vegetarian once again, and as he explained in an interview with Radio Big Boy, "almost full blown vegan."
We're pumped for Travis's evolving compassionate lifestyle (and we'd like to point out that "Full Blown Vegan" would be an excellent album name). It's also great that he's getting his dad in on the action—as Travis explained, "My pops, he's a Vietnam 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."
As for Travis's decision to start dumping dairy foods? "Once you find out all the crazy stuff with dairy," he says, "you'd probably second-guess it too, man."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

And to think Mo Rocca called vegetarians 'so preachy'... Travis Barker is 'so laid back' as far as I've seen!

Cool. I wonder why he went back to eating meat in the first place?

for so long now others saw vegans and vegetarians as "soft hippie types"(of course theres nothing wrong with that), but its great now that we got hardcore rock stars, tattoo artits and the like, its actually "cool" to be veggie. go travis barker. and yes, it does help that he's eye candy too. :D

I was wondering the same thing, Chris. Maybe he was so traumatised after the accident that he couldn't think properly and has finally come to his senses again. Whatever his reasons, I wish him well.
