Travis Barker Hid Meat in His Pockets
Speaking to People, Barker recalled that his father was very strict about finishing meals.
“You had to eat everything on your plate before you left the dinner table,” the drummer explained.
That rule sometimes kept Barker sitting at the table for hours. Eventually, however, he discovered a rather unusual solution.
“I figured out I could hide all of the meat in my pockets,” Barker recalled.
His plan did not stay secret for long. Barker eventually got caught by his mother, who noticed that he repeatedly had meat in his clothes.
“She was like, ‘Why is there always ham in your pocket? Why is there always chicken in your pocket?’” he recalled.
Barker Stood Firm on His Decision
Despite his father’s strict rules, Barker eventually decided to openly stand by his choice.
He remembered sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner and telling his dad that he no longer ate meat.
That moment marked an important change in Barker’s lifestyle and led him to start preparing more plant-based meals at home.

Barker Makes Vegan Meals for Son Rocky
Barker also revealed that he prepares vegan food for his son Rocky, whom he shares with wife Kourtney Kardashian.
The proud father said there are now plenty of plant-based alternatives that make it easier to prepare familiar foods without using animal products.
“I make my son Rocky vegan egg whites every morning, and they’re amazing,” Barker said.
Rocky also enjoys gluten-free vegan bread, vegan butter and vegan sushi.
Barker highlighted MaKin Vegan Sushi in Los Angeles as one of his son’s favorite places and said Rocky also loves edamame.
For Barker, the wide range of plant-based choices means children can still enjoy plenty of flavorful foods while following a vegan lifestyle.
