TRAVIS BARKER EATS MEAT ONCE AGAIN

Singer Travis Barker has started eating meat after 25 years as a vegetarian to help him recover from his plane crash. The drummer is on a protein-packed diet after he suffered third-degree burns in the crash last month, and he has had to go back to eating meat in a bid to speed up his recovery. Barker and his good friend Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein were the only survivors after the Learjet they were passengers on failed to clear a runway in South Carolina and burst into flames. Four passengers died in the crash, including Barker's personal assistant Chris Baker. The star, who is receiving treatment at a Los Angeles California hospital, tells Us Weekly magazine, "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."
