I’ve always kinda liked Blink 182 but it was mainly because I thought Travis Barker was hot. The guy is a complete DUDE. He gives kids free drum lessons and everything. So when I heard he’d been in a plane crash I was pretty cut up about it. But then the thing that upsets me more is after being a vegetarian for 25 years (!!!!!!!) hes decided to start eating meat again to ’speed up the recovery process’ saying that he needs more protein than that he gets from his protein supplements. Can you believe this?? I think he suffered a seriously bad bump to the head if he thinks protein is only available to vegetarians in supplement form. I’m one of those ‘extreme’ vegetarians… you know, one of those ‘Vegans’ and I quite happily get more than enough protein from my ’strict’ diet of leafy greens, beans, tofu and those amazing little chunks of TVP (that’s textured vegetable protein). 

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.

Oh Travis please do some research before you believe everything you’re told.
